Grandma's Records by Eric Velasquez

Every summer, Eric goes to live with his grandmother in El Barrio (Spanish Harlem) while his parents work. Through the long hot days, Grandma fills her apartment with the blaring horns and conga drums of Bomba y Plena, salsa, and merengue - the music she grew up with in Puerto Rico - sharing her memories and passions with Eric.But Eric sees Grandma in a new light when she gets them tickets to hear their favorite band in concert. The music sounds so different than it does at home on their scratchy records. And then the lead singer serenades Grandma right in front of the whole audience!Join Eric Velasquez on a magical journey through time and across cultures, as a young boy
