This book presents seven original compositions celebrating diverse styles of Latin American urban dance. Composer/guitarist Guillermo Diego has written splendid idiomatic pieces with genuine dance flair based on the traditional danzon, chachacha, tango, cumbia, milonga, salsa, and mambo rhythms. Each piece is respectfully dedicated to the great composers and dancers of these genres and, of course, to the guitar itself.

Written in standard notation, the music features some fingering and a wide range of dynamic and interpretive instructions. The result will be an irresistible and exciting rendition of authentic Latin dance rhythms that the public and guitarists will surely enjoy.
