Dudamel prepares to unite the Americas

The Los Angeles Philharmonic's music director programs music from throughout the continents — Eddie Palmieri, Juanes, Aaron Copland — for a series at the Bowl.

During the sultry days and nights of his Venezuelan youth, Gustavo Dudamel constantly heard the masters' music blasting from radios or pouring out of Caracas nightclubs and concert halls: the jazz-inflected salsa of Eddie Palmieri, the merengue-bachata fusions of Juan Luis Guerra and, of course, the Afro-Cuban and Latin pop philosophizing of Rub�n Blades.
