A four-CD box set, Cuba: I Am Time ... see all copies from $48.43! new only from $49.16!
2	Putumayo Presents: Cuba (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Cuba wasn't the first Afro-Cuban compilation that Putumayo released in the '90s. Latino!

5	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 $4.33! new only from $4.60!
6	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 $9.63! new only from $11.54!

9	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.

11 view cover	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.
