Big band leader Dave Pell tackles Perez Prado and does a pretty decent job at it, particularly the Mambos are useful. Listen to Mambo Number 8 that gives a good indication of what to expect. Yellow vinyl with some lig...

Thanks to the close political ties bewteen Cuba and the form GDR the citizens of East Berlin were offered a listen to the vibes of Havana and these vibes were crackin. Lovely blend of afro cuban jazz and hard hitting ...

Cuban original with pretty much back to back dancefloor grooves by Adalberto Alvarez. My highlights are El Mal De La Hipocrecia and Chivo Quire Que Le Den Candela. Cover is waved from water / damp but intact and looks...

Rare original from Venezuelean mega star Oscar D'Leon with Mi Novia and Me Enamore De Ti both excellent movers. Rico Melao is my favorite though with a nice upbeat vocal piece. Record looks VG / VG- but plays better t...

Cuco Valoy led Los Virtuosos playing salsa, merengue and cumbia. This one holds two of his biggest in Juliana and La Muerte De Don Marcos. Sealed original Discolor release from 1978. Check sound on yourtube....

Legendary Dutch Antilles salsa master killing it on rare Dureco 80s release. Don't get fooled by the late recording date, it is heated stuff for the floor here, just check the opener San Dom. Unplayed stock copy.

Back in stock! Puerto Rican maestro Danny Rivera on top form with Harvey Averne at the production knobs. Mainly mellow stuff but just check the b-boy latino vibes on Una Nueva Manana that is pretty sample ready. Recor...

Famous Venezuelan harpist with a folky yet groovy affair. Torrealba records are pretty hard to come by and does not show all to often, particular in any good condition. Venezuelan original deep groove pressing with co...

One of my favorite recent discoveries, this Uruguayan folk duo creates a very hypnotic soundscape, particular the tracks El Cuello De La Botella and Y Ahora Que are very unqiue pieces. Orfeo original from Uruguay in g...

Argentinian freakbeat release with the title track Un Muchacho Como Yo a bit of a mover. Seldom seen original. Cover looks great, record with soft lines, plays really well at least VG+

Rare latin beat with a brilliant down-beat cover of Watermelon Man and a top scat vocal piece dubbed Bittersweet Samba. Clean EX vinyl condition, cover with writing. US Columbia original from the late sixties.

Now impossible to find latin breakbeat / freakbeat monster with three huge drum break dancers in Es Muy Facil, Coge Mi Mano and Cantemos Asi. Funny cover of Mony Mony as well. Cover is shrink, vinyl plays EX but visua...

Psych pop / beat with Samba Eaio the winner in my ears. Solid drum work on this '74 release as well for the beatheads. Top condition.

Debut release by Spanish psych pop group with Cantar Y Cantar and Una Manana both good groovers. Open drums on two tracks for sampling. German only vinyl release in stunning condition.

Untapped Latin / Brazil beats on small German latino label Castor. Tia Maria is my top choice but there a more useful spins on here. Nice copy but with a info sticker at cover.

Dutch only latin library release with mainly rubbish easy cheesy stuff but there are two great tracks on here. Firstly a very useful cover of Besame Mucho that should sit well with fans of synthy sounds and cosmic lat...

Seriously hard to find compilation by Swiss mastermind composer and band leader Peter Jacques, Addy Floor and Hal Branders. PJ is famed for the rare and recommended Quadriga library releases and this treassure is in a...

Ultra rare latin / salsa release privately pressed here in Germany. It is one that I would imagine many DJs would deem useful as it holds straight slasa as well as afro cuban dancers. Check Latin Caravan for starters ...

Obscure private pressing by latin american 5 piece unit recording in Munich. Nice and upbeat but a tick to folky for my normal liking but their cover of La Bamba is good. Copy is signed by parts of the band and Juan h...

If you thought Tango could not be funky, check this masterpiece by Astor Piazzolla & Gerry Mulligan. Summit is the deal maker but pretty much all good tracks. Price sticker tear to silver cover.
