Growing up on the Upper West Side in the 1970s, I fell in love with the sounds forged in New York City by Latino musicians who mixed Puerto Rican and Cuban beats with soul and jazz to create a new and defining rhythm: salsa. Now, some 35 years later as president of WGBH, I’m thrilled to introduce you to one of the most ambitious music-and-history series we’ve ever produced.

Latin Music USA (see page 10) is a multimedia, bilingual celebración of Latin music and the rise of Latino culture in the United States, anchored by a four-part documentary that will make you want to get up and dance. It’s a fresh take on our musical history, spanning five decades and multiple musical genres to present an astonishing mix of sounds created by Latinos and embraced by all of us.

The project is the brainchild of WGBH executive producer Elizabeth Deane and senior producer Adriana Bosch, who first conceived it over lunch in the WGBH cafeteria. “Adriana and I were talking about a big musical series I had originated for PBS, a 10-part history of rock ‘n’ roll that critics and audiences had liked,” Elizabeth recalls. “Adriana was born in Cuba and she’s passionate about music, and we wondered if something similar to Rock & Roll might be done with the amazing range of Latin music and artists in this country.

“We’ve tried to live up to the expectations that Latino audiences will bring to the films,” Elizabeth continues, “and at the same time, reach out to our wider audience—giving them the pleasure of music they know, and the discovery of new artists and new music.”

Broadcast in both English and Spanish, Latin Music USA is enhanced by a bilingual website (wgbh.org/latinmusicusa) with interactive features, dynamic video clips, and a player that streams the entire series in both languages, so you can watch—or rewatch—it anytime!

And on Friday, October 2, we’re bringing the series home, literally, to our Brighton studios, where you’re invited to our Latin Music USA Premiere Party, with live Latin music and dancing. (See page 2 for details and ticket information.)

I hope you’ll join us for the party, and then tune in this groundbreaking series, made possible by your generous support. It’s gonna move you!

From Latin jazz and mambo to salsa, Tejano, Chicano rock, Latin pop and reggaeton, Latin Music USA tells the story of the rise of new American music forged from powerful Latin roots and reveals the often overlooked influence of Latin music on jazz, hip-hop, rhythm and blues and rock ‘n’ roll—and on all of American culture.

This Old Telescope The Hubble Space Telescope has enthralled scientists and the public by capturing deep views of the cosmos and a wealth of data from distant galaxies. It has helped lead the search for alien planets and is a key tool in cosmology’s quest to investigate and map the universe’s mysterious dark matter. In spring 2009, NASA sent a shuttle crew on a risky mission to service Hubble for the last time. From training to launch, Nova presents the inside story of the mission and the extraordinary challenges faced by the rescue crew.

Danilo Pérez: Latin Jazz at Home in Boston Q A In celebration of Latin Music USA, the new WGBHproduced TV documentary premiering this month (see page 10), WGBH Radio hosts will be featuring Latino artists in every genre—from classical to Celtic to that uniquely American art form, jazz.

Latin rhythms have been part of jazz since its birth in the steamy streets of New Orleans. The infusion of Latin melodies and rhythm became part of mainstream jazz in the 1940s, with greats like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie blending Latin beats into toe-tapping big band music. From mambo to bossa nova, salsa to tango, Latin roots have shaped popular music in the US and continue to add to the country’s musical conversation.

Panamanian pianist and composer Danilo Pérez is among the most influential and dynamic musicians of our time. In just over a decade, his distinctive blend of pan-American jazz (covering the music of the Americas, folkloric and world music) has attracted critical acclaim and loyal audiences. AudioFile’s Jen Goebel recently talked with Pérez about his music, his foundation and the life of a Latin jazz artist.

Q A

How did you first get interested in music?

I was born into a musical environment. My father was a singer, and he gave me a pair of bongos when I was two years old. He played records for me all the time, and I just grew up with it.

Q A

What do you hope people hear in your music?

Adventure, and the power of the diversity. I grew up in a wonderful country: Panama is a meeting point and a transit point because of the canal, and has an incredible array of influences.

There’s everything from tango to Panamanian folklore to salsa to Bob Marley to indigenous music to classical. I like to experience playing with no boundaries—I think of it as an international meeting point with no immigration officers.

Q A

Is there a particular piece of music that influenced you at a young age?

When I was seven, I heard Papo Lucca, a Puerto Rican pianist with a salsa group called La Sonora Ponceña. He was a big influence on me: there was a piece he played that had an outstanding piano solo. I also remember hearing Louis Armstrong playing and singing Hello Dolly! That was pretty amazing, too.

Tell me about your foundation.

About five years ago, I started the Fundación Danilo Pérez here in Panama to bring music to kids. We’re working in a complicated area with lots of gangs. We use music to re-incorpporate gang members and children at risk into society and help them become productive citizens. And, about seven years ago, we started the annual Panama Jazz Festival with Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory, where they offer educational programs for kids, youth and adults from all over Latin America.

Q A

Q A

What are you working on now?

I’m very excited to be leading the Berklee Global Jazz Institute as its artistic director. One of the goals of the Institute is to explore the social power of music as a tool for social change. On another note, I’m also putting together a band called The Healing Band with international musicians, and our mission is to perform music to promote world peace.

Q A

How can music bring about social change?

Music teaches important values. In music, you can’t cheat. If I give you a piece of music, you have to practice, you can’t write the answer on your hand. Another value music teaches is teamwork. We are bombarded with ways to be separate, with ways to be isolated. Music challenges that environment, and teaches you that the success of a performance depends on your cooperation with the other musicians. With jazz, you are free to say what you want to say, but it has to work in context.

The other very important lesson music teaches is respect. You have to listen to each other for success. Music is about listening. Those values— honesty, harmony, teamwork and respect—are very powerful tools for social change.

How did you come to Boston?

When I was six years old, my family came to Boston to visit an uncle of ours, and that’s when I told my mother that this is where I wanted to live. After I finished high school in Panama, I went to college in Pittsburgh to study electronics, but I had a friend at Berklee who kept telling me how great it was, and about all that was going on in Boston. So I applied, without any expectations, and I won the Quincy Jones Scholarship.

Q A

What’s the most challenging part of your work?

Fundraising. That’s very difficult. But I have learned to take the things I don’t like and look at them as challenges. I am a superb optimist, and I love to improvise, so trying to figure out how to achieve a goal is exciting to me.

Q A

What’s your favorite thing about being a musician?

You know, the answer has changed over the years. When I started, I loved the applause and all the goodies that come with performing. But now, I value the power and the responsibility that comes with being able, with a note or a chord, to light a fire in somebody’s heart. People sometimes tell me that listening to a piece of music I wrote or a performance I did helped them in some way, and I love that. I feel that when you play music, you become a servant to the divine spirit.

That’s what brought them to this lovely antique store in historic Savannah that they discovered on Gozaic.com – a Web site supported by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. They planned an entire itinerary filled with activities and places to go to experience more of what enriches their lives. And that’s a great beginning to their latest story!
