Don't know what it is about this track but it really gets me going. Maybe its the Ray Barretto production or Bobby Rodriguez taking off on a tight salsa tip. Love it! Super rare 45 on Vaya.

Essential item for the latin DJ or collector. Harvey Averne production and mixed by Tom Moulton this is a real treat. Super rare 45 in original Coco Records company sleeve. Don't sleep - it is rare!

Essential and rare Tico 45 from Joe Cuba. The Louie Ramirez production here is perfect for a latin or cosmic mix. First time in stock. Some visual groove wear but still a fine copy.

Hard to judge by the cover if anything sweet is on here but little did I know that Peruvian soul diva Eva Ayllon lands a killer groove that ends with a sample ready breakbeat. As expected from a Peruvian original, the...

Gene Page craftsmanship with Ray Barreto, Bobby Valentin, Johnny Pacheco and many other top talents, how can it be anything but funky. The famous intro of Cha Cha Cha has been sampled notoriously but listen to the bes...

Seldom seen 60s deep groove pressing by famous Cuban percussionist Humberto Canto. A fine blend of mambo, cha cha, samba and other quality cuts on here but the standout track is Piano, Tumba Y Contrabajo which is high...

Laurindo Almeida arrangement and Bud Shank on fine form, this is strongly jazz infused latin experiment. Nice version of Round About Midnight and the lovely Harlem Samba are my favorites but overall a good listen. Ear...

Very early latin jazz recording by Cal Tjader backed by a young Willie Bobo and Mongo Santamaria. All pretty mellow stuff good for a Sunday afternoon of chilling. Later pressing with blue / white Fantasy label.

This one practically never shows up on vinyl. German salsa unit that gets loud and fast on the percussions but also downright funky as you will hear on the clip. Rare item in beautiful conditon.

This one is still somewhat under the radar but actually is one of the best releases on the French folk label, Arion. Brilliant mix of straight samba, batucada and forro. Listen to the hypnotic vibes of A Coroa Do Rei ...

Rare instrumental jazz funk on tiny Pacific Arts label that mixes everything from latin jazz over rare groove. A very enjoyable listening from start to finish. Pretty seldom seen album.

United Artist deep groove original from 1968 with Tito's expressions of love, latino style. This copy is a VG but as the sixties UA pressing are high-end it plays much better. Cover with heavy wear.

Back in stock! Essential item for the latin DJ or collector. Harvey Averne production and mixed by Tom Moulton this is a real treat. Super rare 45 in original Coco Records company sleeve. Don't sleep - it is rare!

Killer 45 on the tiny underground label Madely out of New York. Fast and furious! One of those records I doubt we will see again. Significant groove wear but plays really well with moderate distortions.

Mad underrated affair by Jose Prates and his Brasilian ensemble touring Europe. Lots of clubby tracks here with Muji and Puxada as some of the highlight. Signed on back cover, likely Domingos Campos. Vinyl is clean EX-

DJ goodies here from Jose Prates and his dance ensemble. Batucada heaven on this album with loud in-your-face drums but the winner is clearly E Nana that work a blast in the clubs every time. Super rare promo only whi...

Definitely one of the best takes of Mas Que Nada is to be found on this Brazilian beauty from '67. Plenty of other goodies on offer though with Ritmo, Desafinado and the hypnotic beat of Praca Onze. Original 1st press...

New discovery to me with Gonzo Bishop and Guillermo Marchena. The track Paralizado is a wonderful upbeat latin groover that you should not miss. House Of Delight opens with a nice mellow drum break. Cover has got two ...

Little hard to categorise Tri Atma and if you are looking for an all latin affair, this is probably not your best choice. However if you fancy a latin tinged kraut folk group that does not shy experimenting with sitar...

Rare 60s latin release with a nice mix of boogaloo and salsa cuts, check Darktown Strutters Ball. Fair bit of marks on vinyl but high quality pressing so plays really well. Cover with light damage to back spine but st...
