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.

Brilliant live set by the salsa master on Dutch jazz label Timeless. Nothing really bad on this one with Mambo Inn and Buenas Noches Che Che my favorites.
