What better way of celebrating and promoting Havana Club than 24 tracks capturing the history of Cuban music from 1874 through to 1977. Listen to Chucho Valdes and Irakere ripping things up on Juana. Gatefold cover wi...

Stunning copy of this rare and recommended Cuban funkster with massive tunes in Es Nuestro Aniversario, La Chica Complicada, Suelta Ese Chaqueton and more. Heavy vinyl with dark blue Areito labels. Disc and cover all...

Amazing early Riverside recording that testament why they rate as one of Cuba's most acclaimed groups. Fierce dancefloor action on tracks like La Guarapachanga, Florida and Caminito De Zaza. Lovely copy with heavy vin...

Mindblowing jazz funk by the Cuban master Juan Pablo Torres and friends who takes off completely on the title track Pan Caliente. The flip opens with an excellent boogie funk styled jazz scat groove Perfida that has g...

Funny (and silly) cover of Jorge Ben's massive hitter Pais Tropical and other Paraguayan-Harp grooves. French press in like new shape.

Not entirely sure of the origins of the Lucio Barbosa Group but clearly the settled in Spain although their sound is more Cuban. Nice cover of Oye Como Va and El Cumbanchero.

Rare Discolando album nicely capturing the echoes of Panama by artists like Gelo Cordoba, Tobias Plisety or Albberto Galimany. Nice mix of Cumbia and Danzon on here all with a very authentic soundscape. Super hard fin...

Where do we start here.... A record spanning classics like Mambo Jambo, Mambo Number 5, Tequila but also more jazzy stuff like El Manisero or Adios Muchachos you really have it all. Start with Hava Naguila for a touch...

From a time where ballroom dancing was on everyones weekend agenda Steve Lawrence jumped the latin fever with Don Costa offering a mixed bag of Mambo, Cha Cha Cha and more. Try People Will Say We Are In Love. Rare US ...

Killer set of latin dancers by Emiliy Reyes with standouts the fine cover of Pacheco's Ease Merenque and the monster Que Te Parece Cholito (soundclip). Soft marks only, playgrade is not far off EX, fragile cover betwe...

Very consistent sixties European only latin recording that originally came out as 10" in France. Pretty much back-to-back dancefloor friendly stuff with Rio Bamba or La Suppa Del Pichon just a few starting pointers. V...

Not as hard hitting as one has come to expect from the Egyptian band leader but still a good few Cha Cha Cha and Samba groovers on here. Nice copy with strong EX cover and weak EX disc (plays perfect).

Another sixties Euro only latin album with main focus of Cha Cha Cha but there are two good Merengue grooves on here and even a Calypso track. Check Guarachero for starters. Record with marks but solid playback.

Allegro sixties compilation filled with dancefloor fun from one of the most consistent band leaders of the era. Contigo, Mi Merengue, La Empaliza and much more.

Late fifties mono original including two essential latin DJ grooves in Mississippi Mambo and Norin-Noron. Instant floorfillers. Record in stunning EX shape, cover has a little wear and tear on front and to corners.

Brilliant stuff by the Cuban master on West Side Latino Records including the killer dancefloor fave Tanga. Must have material. Cover and record grades between VG and VG+ with playgrade pretty much VG+ except for lig...

Such a wonderful and rare treat. Osvaldo Diaz leading this great jazz rock band mixing Chilean traditionals and progressive jazz with traces of samba, bossa and other latin spice. Very unqiue recording and not a recor...

Mexican jazz folk rock grouping with personel that later went to form the famous Astillero Jazz Ensemble. Very varied in style from mellow melodic jazz, upbeat dancefloor friendly folk and even an abstract prog rock i...

More salsa and bolero fun by the Puerto Rican master recording for Vaya Records. Big names on board here like Oscar Colon or Louie Ramirez just to mention a few. Cuento Número Uno and Juan Albanil stand out to my ear ...

One of the best solo affairs by famous salsa vocalist Cheo Feliciano. He nicely brings back a feeling of early Fania recordings. Check Asi Soy for a feel of the direction.
