Description
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.

Join Eric Velasquez on a magical journey through time and across cultures, as a young boy's passion for music and art is forged by the powerful bond between generations.
