1	Cuba: I Am Time (1997) more music like this by Various Artists For such a small island, Cuba has had an enormous musical impact both inside and outside of Latin America. Salsa is the music of choice among Cubans and Puerto Ricans, and Afro-Cuban music has influenced everyone from American jazz players to Dominican merengue artists to Spanish "nuevo flamenco" stars. A four-CD box set, Cuba: I Am Time ... see all copies from $47.75! new only from $77.70!
2	Cuba Si: Pure Cuban Flavor (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Puerto Ricans have made many outstanding contributions to salsa; even the more casual salsero should be hip to Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Manny Oquendo y Libre, El Gran Combo and El Conjunto Clasico. But it's important to stress that son, cha-cha, guaguanco, mambo and other styles that fall under the heading of salsa didn't originate in Puerto ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $16.85!
3	The Best of Irakere (1978) more music like this by Irakere For Latin jazz fans, this is a succinct and nearly complete roundup of Irakere's two North American albums, a brief peek through Cuba's door before politics slammed it shut again for another generation. Irakere is represented by four tracks, including the lengthy, uncut "Black Mass," and Irakere II by six tracks. The live Irakere was an exciting ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
4	Salsa Cubana: Gold Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Fine Tune's Salsa Cubana: Gold Collection is hardly a definitive overview of Cuban salsa, nor should it be seen as an introduction to the genre. Instead, view it as an affordable sampler of the style and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Not every performance or song is a classic, but with cuts by Beny More, Orquesta Aragon, Ng la Banda, Celina ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.55!
5	Bacalao Con Pan (2005) more music like this by Irakere Capturing a period between 1974 and 1985, in what was arguably Irakere's heyday, after they had developed a strong stylistic voice, and before the direction of jazz fusion changed significantly in the '90s, Bacalao con Pan, a collection from the Escondida label, is an excellent showcase for some of Irakere's B-sides and lesser-known gems, with a ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $11.95!
6	Afrocubanismo Live! (1996) more music like this by Chucho Valdes & Irakere These live-in-concert performances from the first Afrocubanismo Festival at the Banff Center in Alberta, Canada have Irakere as the core group, for the most part, with special guests sitting in. One studio recording done during the festival, "Rumba Tonada," is from the folkloric vocal-percussion Grupo Ilu Ana, who also performed there. The rest ... see all copies from $13.99! new only from $13.99!
7	Babalu Ayé (1999) more music like this by Chucho Valdés & Irakere Irakere came on the scene in the late '70s with a style of Latin jazz that incorporated soaring jazz brass with quite traditional Cuban rhythms, and punctuated by electric guitars and a funky bass. In the years since, Irakere music has been characterized by a hot jazz sound with a very danceable beat. Babalu Ayé closes a circle of sorts for ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $4.95!
8	Planete Cuba (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $30.73!
9	Indestructible (1997) more music like this by Irakere & Chucho Valdes Perhaps one of the finest Latin jazz units of all time decided to set out to record a straight-ahead salsa album. The result, though confounding to some die-hard Irakere fans, was one very fine salsa record. With some of the most confident performances, brilliantly written horn lines, and swinging rhythms found anywhere in the salsa world, Irakere ... see all copies from $9.42!
10	Cuba Classics, Vol. 3: Diablo al Infierno! (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Part of Luaka Bop's Cuba Classics series, Vol. 3, Diablo al Infierno! is a compilation showcasing the diversity of Cuban music, both old and new. As a prime example, the title track itself is from a Cuban speed metal outfit, Zeus. Also included are classic acts like the supergroup Irakere performing their first real hit, and dancehall greats Los ... see all copies from $6.06!
11 view cover	Homenaje a Beny More (1989) more music like this by Irakere This record shows off their pop-dance side. It's worth having for the incendiary "Bacalao con Pan" alone. Ned Sublette, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.84! new only from $4.84!

15	Irakere [1979] (1979) more music like this by Irakere North American Latin jazz audiences were knocked out when this LP came out, for it was the first idea many of us had of the explosive power of this Cuban jazz/rock band, which had been let briefly out of Cuba to tour. Columbia taped them live at New York's Newport Festival and Switzerland's Montreux Jazz Festival, and the result was a noisy, ... see all copies from $12.00!

MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.87! new only from $2.87!
19 view cover	Cuba, I Am Time, Vol. 4: Cubano Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Cubano Jazz is an infectious, rhythmic look at some of the more popular Cuban jazz performers of the '80s and '90s. More casual American listeners probably won't recognize some of these names, but the set is pretty consistent in its quality, with cuts from the likes of Israel "Cachao" Lopez, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Chico O'Farrill, Irakere, and Mario ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
