Rudolph Mangual Ten years ago, in Los Angeles, California, a Latin music magazine was created by Rudolph and Yvette Mangual and they called it Latin Beat Magazine. Rudy, an aerospace engineer by trade and a musician in his spare time, traveled throughout the world with artist-wife Yvette and both noticed a considerable lack of information and resources for Latin music. They immersed themselves into researching publications dedicated to the genre and found only a few that filled the niche and those were small European magazines in other languages. Here in the States there was no publication that dedicated itself completely to serious Latin music. In 1989, as a favor to its publisher, for its last 3 months of life they guest edited and art directed a now defunct magazine that closely resembled what they envisioned, and the following year, with Rudy's dream and Yvette's 11 years experience in publications, they created Latin Beat. Its mission is to report and inform on all facets of Latin music but at the same time the magazine entertains and educates readers with in-depth comprehensive articles about the artists of the past, present and future. Latin Beat informs on the latest local, national, and international music events, record reviews and live entertainment. The publication further delves into the limitless world of Latin jazz, Tropical music, Latin pop and World music. Thanks to the tireless efforts of a whole bunch of people, the magazine is highly respected and collected throughout the world. Music departments of high schools, colleges and universities continue to utilize Latin Beat Magazine as a resource tool for music, sociology and history classes, and invite Latin Beat writers to speak and lecture on the history of Latin music. It has no equal. Over the past ten years Latin Beat Magazine has established itself as the preeminent publication in the world of Latin music. In a field in which passions run high and opinions strong, Latin Beat is almost universally embraced. The journalists who contribute to Latin Beat are serious, dedicated and passionate writers whose talent and experience is sought after in the music industry.
