In a country founded by European emigrants, where the migratory flux has never stopped since the first settlers arrived in the 17th Century, the immigration coming from far beyond Río Grande has always been considered as invading. Through musicals like West Side Story (1957) and In the Heights (2007), we will analyze the change of paradigm of the Latino immigration as portrait in the American musical.
