Two track album to me unless you are into traditional Cuban cancion. Poblina De Las Serenatas and Son De Ida Y Vuelta are both good melodic floor friendly son dancers. Seldom seen Cuban original on Siboney with record...

Adalberto Alvarez backed by the always steady Conjunto Son 14 this is a fantastic Cuban dancefloor bomp with stacks of heat for playing out. Check Agua Que Cae Del Ciero. Record in solid EX shape, cover with faint rin...

Juan Formell and the Orquesta Los Van Van getting busy as one would expect by one of Cuba's musical power houses. A bit of everything here but teh Son dancers stand out to my ear. Start with Habla Claro Camara for a f...

Cracking set of latin dancers by the mighty Irakere led by Chucho Valdes and German Velazco. Consistent affair with almost all tracks here worth a go with El Tata and 12 y 23 my personal favorites. Fragile cover is no...

Latin favorite here from George Duke. Nothing rare but a must have. Packed with good stuff including Cravo E Canela, Ao Que Vai Nascer and the killer Sugar Loaf Mountain. Great album.

Pretty undiscovered Germano Latino unit that recorded a few very viable latin fusion albums on the tiny Portobello label. This is my favorite of their albums with Que Vacillon Impressionante and Auoye. Original pressi...

Seriously funky latin jazz compilation with back to back salsa and latin grooves for the dancefloor. Fania Allstars, Ray Barretto, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Joe Cuba and much more.... Writing and small pen marks on bac...

The best volume in the Caliente series with latin takes of soul and jazz classics. Lady Marmelade, Nitty Gritty, Work Song and Young Gifted and Brown. Check out the latter by Joe Bataan. Soulful stuff. Some marks to v...

Underrated Ray Barretto effort, maybe due to the late recording date. Still seriously funky stuff with Arallue and Pura Novela true dancefloor favorites. French Fania pressing with two small pen crosses on back cover,...

Another fine mix of latin grooves for the dancefloor with some jazz undertones. El Gran Combo are always good for a quality record and does not disaapoint here on their visit to Alaska either. Released on the US Combo...

Great uptempo salsa from one of the most productive latin units. This is one of our favorite El Gran Combo releases on the Combo label. Little wear to cover and record but still in good shape.

Columbian original with pretty much back to back salsa tunes for the dancefloor. Taped edges and some marks to record.

Always in demand and for good reason. Great versions of Cantaloupe Island, Light My Fire, Quiet Village and the smooth latin groover in Viva Tirado lifted by Kid Frost. German original from 1970 with lots of scuffs an...

The Salsa Picante records does not get the full credit they deserve. These guys manage to blend straight salsa with lots of funk undertones and the result is always good. Listen to Vicente for a feel. Cover is clean a...

Cuban Areito recording from always productive Los Van Van. Style here is mostly Son but a few Salsa cuts worthy a spin in the club as well. Vinyl looks VG, but plays VG+ or better.

European only latin / salsa disco release from the Belgian three piece unit. Nice version fo Oye Come Va and a brilliant 13 plus min medley dubbed Africa Brazil Suite. Near perfect copy, vinyl looks unplayed.

Nico Gomez just is always good for a few upbeat clubby pieces and does it again on this '82 budget release on Dutch label Dureco. Check El Calapago. Stunning EX condition bordering NM.

Much underrated debut by Spanish guitarist Manzanita including the scat vocal groover Talco Y Bronce and mid-tempo instrumental Rumba Escabrosa. Don't be scared by the Flamenco / Gypsy orientation, this is a top recor...

Got a soft spot for Astor Piazzolla and his ability to make Tango sound so damm funky. Check Meditango for a snippet of the vibes here. Spotless NM condition.

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.
