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.

Famous Chilean five piece Cumbia band that are unique in adding lots of electric guitar rather than traditional instrumentation with accordion. Sounds a bit like sixties rock n roll, cumbia style. A truly amazing copy...

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....

So rare and so good, this is a latin masterpiece ahead of its time. Ramirez is backed by none other than Bernard Purdie, Arthur Jenkins and Cornell Dupree. The result is 10 excellent latin grooves with a disco touch. ...

Jazzy cumbia grooves from start to finish thanks to the Colombian organ grinders Lucho Bermudez and Jaime Llano Gonzalez. Like new copy.

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.

Great great record by the Senegales composer Luis Morais joined by Franck Cavaquinho. Strong mix of afro cuban and cumbia throughout with highlights in Mari Giralda, Caninha and Saragarca. Copy looks average with many...

A fine collaboration of two Cubano masters. Nothing for the dancefloor on here but still has a subtle funkiness and these cats can play as you will hear. Areito original wigh light blue labels and gatefold cover. Stro...

Latin jazz favorite that is surprisingly rare. Impecable line up with Ruben Blades, Steve Khan, Randy Brecker and Johnny Rodriguez Jr just to mention a few. Latin jazz fusion mixed with a twist of modern soul and lati...

Along with his debut on Prucia Records, I would rate this the best Macario Prudencia album. Crackin Caribbean salsa from start to finish, not a dull moment in sight with the Continental Combo backing the master. Stron...

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.

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.

Early Machito material with Carambola, Bongo Fiesta and Sambia all brilliant jazzy latin grooves. Caliente US release from '73 with nice cover art. Edge wear to cover, small split, record is EX.

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...

Very funky affair by afro latin funk rockers Malo lead by Jorge Santana's groovy guitar. Should appeal to latin jazz as well as funk heads alike. UK original from '74 in EX condition, cover with cut-out.

Nothing rare but a very solid latin jazz recording by the Canadian world fusion group. Includes the deep and intense Ruwenzori that runs for a good 14 minuttes. Record shows hairlines and grades visually VG, most trac...

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...

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 ...

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...

Marty Franklin deep groove pressing on the collectable Cadence label. This record is packed with Mambo, Cha Cha Cha and Boogaloo for the dancefloor. Very hard to find album in strong VG+ condition (plays fantastic) an...
