Contrapulso also accepts unpublished reviews in Spanish, Portuguese or English, of books written in these languages that approach any aspects of popular music in Latin America and the Caribbean, published within two years of the submission of the review. This refers to academic books, and not to other types of books or published interviews, although we are also interested in books based on investigative journalism. The purpose of the review is to supply information about the content of the book and include a critical evaluation that is justifiable and respectful.

The review should be between 1500 and 2500 words and should include an image with the illustration of the cover of the book, of at least 300 dpi, along with a link where readers can access or request a copy of the book, if possible. The name of the author of the review should be included at the end of the review. All reviews will be evaluated by the Editorial Team of Contrapulso prior to publication.
