It’s a special episode of Latino USA. The legendary Bill Cosby joins host Maria Hinojosa to talk about his love of salsa music and the musicians who made it. We learn about Tito Puente and other musicians who helped shape Latin jazz, and find out why calling the music “Salsa” might be all wrong in the first place. We reflect on how Mr. Cosby’s work welcomed Latinos and other immigrants to the American family. And we hear life lessons from a nearly 100-year-old Rumba player.
Wow, who knew the Lone Ranger, Tonto, Jonathan Winters (cherokee), Mongo, Tito, and the watermelon man all played a part in Bill Cosby’s “Salsa” not the sauce.
Great show!! Loved it.
I am so proud of you (mi querida sobrina)! Tears of joy streamed down my face the moment I heard your voice on the radio and knowing how much this means to you! Great show! Loved it!
Fantastic interview with Mr. C! And to top it all off, the incredible Irving Fields (who soon will be 99) giving sage advice that should be shared with everyone, young and old. Bravo Latino USA!
Wonderful listen. Loved it!
