Although its jumping-off point is the legendary Big Bands of a half-century ago--Basie, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton--the Phat Band mixes in rock, R&B and Latin to achieve what Goodwin, 51, calls "a contemporary energy and focus and edge." Amazingly, it works for high school and college kids who, if they have ever heard of the swing era, probably think it occurred between the Paleozoic and the Mesozoic. Half of the Phat Band's live appearances are at schools and colleges. The group's range and appeal to all ages are on full display...

But getting there is just as easy as the other squares—simply walk past the Science Center down Cambridge Street.

Any physical evidence of black Africa has apparently been diluted beyond recognition in my murky gene pool. And while heavy traces of African blood are not unusual in Latin America, they tend to be linked to West Africa, where much of the slave trade to the Americas originated. Clearly, my ancestors got around...
...others that are rich in natural resources (Brazil, Chile) get pulled along when commodity prices shoot through the roof. Meanwhile, as many countries undergo structural changes, like floating their currencies (South Korea, Indonesia), the idea of investing in places that come with some pretty scary memories (the 1980s Latin American debt defaults, the 1997 East Asian financial crisis) becomes remarkably more palatable...
