1	United Rhythms of Messidor (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.99!
2	El Hombre (2004) more music like this by Carlos "Patato" Valdez Few have done more in their lifetimes to reinvent the conga and its role than Carlos "Patato" Valdes. His ability to use the conga as an instrument with not only rhythmic but also melodic capabilities is truly revolutionary, and has irreversibly changed the way that congas are played. On his 2004 release, El Hombre, Patato hardly goes four bars ... see all copies from $10.33! new only from $10.33!
3	The Legend of Cuban Percussion (2000) more music like this by Patato Carlos "Patato" Valdes is truly a legend of Afro-Cuban music and a master conga player. This CD, one of few for the 70-something percussionist as a leader or co-leader, bubbles or boils under a layer of flute, saxes, vocals, and piano. Fellow master percussionists Orestes Vilato and Changuito help buoy Patato's more delicate shadings, while ... see all copies from $9.98! new only from $14.49!
4	Patato & Totico (1967) more music like this by Patato & Totico The landmark recording Patato & Totico belongs neither entirely to rhumberos nor to jazzers. The musical style will feel very familiar to those familiar with Cuba's rhumba tradition, which springs from the ritual songs of Yorubans and their descendants who found themselves sold into servitude to Cuba's sugar and tobacco plantations. The ensemble ... see all copies from $8.90! new only from $8.90!
5	A Cuba Without Borders (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Six Degrees Records is a progressive label offering a roster that combines the latest in electronica and world music, often on the same recording. The label's Travel Series is a series of recordings presenting just that fusion. These releases include Cuba Without Borders, a multi-generational sampling of takes on Afro-Cuban jazz, son, and other ... see all copies from $4.58! new only from $4.58!
6	The Rough Guide to Afro-Cuba: Continental Drift - Explosive Musical Connection (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Here is an anthology that has been needed for some time. A brief, concise, yet deep and authoritative collection of music that goes further than paying lip service to the Afro-Cuban connection. Here the continental differences are erased in a widespread look at cross-pollination and cultural miscegenation. The great glory of this collection is ... see all copies from $8.51! new only from $13.19!
7	Sunwheels (2001) more music like this by Michael Marcus Trio & Patato Valdes Cuban master conguero Carlos Patato Valdes, drummer Nasheet Waits, and organist Rahn Burton join multi-reedman Michael Marcus on his fifth CD entitled Sunwheels. With his preferred "straight" horns -- straight tenor, stritch, and saxello -- Marcus is pious on his Trane-like tribute "Eternal All" and is blazing on "Pinball," his tip-of-the-hat to ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
8	Jazz Descargas (2001) more music like this by The Conga Kings Some artists go around calling themselves kings or queens when they haven't earned the title, but in the case of the Conga Kings -- Candido Camero, Carlos "Patato" Valdes, and Giovanni Hidalgo -- the word "king" isn't an exaggeration. These conga players really do have long and impressive resumes in the Afro-Cuban field; anyone who is seriously ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $7.98!
9	Uno Dos Tres: Latin Jazz Grooves (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The three-disc box set Uno Dos Tres: Latin Jazz Grooves comprises the two volumes in the Talkin' Verve series focusing on Cal Tjader and Willie Bobo, plus the compilation Mambomania. The Tjader and Bobo discs have a host of excellent tracks, many of which are among the best known in Latin jazz: Tjader's "Manteca" and "Soul Sauce," Bobo's "Evil ... see all copies from $10.00!
10	Masterpiece (1984) more music like this by Patato Masterpiece may not quite live up to its name, but it definitely has its moments. A few songs are dominated by group singing/chanting, and both singer Vicentico Valdes ("Reflexionado") and percussionist Patato ("A Los Pianistas") have individual features. In addition, "Cute" and "Coimelon" are straight-ahead showcases for Ronnie Cuber (on soprano ... see all copies from $11.95!
11 view cover	More Than the Mambo: Introduction to Afro-Cuban Jazz (1995) more music like this by Various Artists This two-disc compilation of Afro-Cuban jazz is filled with everything that's good about life. How can you go wrong when you have the vocals of Miguelito Valdes and the vibes of Cal Tjader? There isn't a single minute of filler and the music never stops moving. Naturally, the sound quality is outstanding throughout. A life-affirming experience. ... see all copies from $35.00!
12 view cover	Ska Zone (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Instead of gathering original hits from ska-revival superstars, Ska Zone relies on latter-day recordings from these artists, including a remake of the Selecter's "On My Radio" and several groups featuring members of Madness, English Beat, the Belle Stars and Bad Manners. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
13 view cover	Authority (2000) more music like this by Patato & His Latin Percussion Friends Reverent. Dark. Profound. From the first notes from the clave and tumbadora, the listener is taken to a different place, the barrios, street corners, and cigar shops of Havana. By the time the conga completes the melody of the guaguancó, and is joined by the smoky quinto and tres, you are in the basement of a tenement building in Nueva York, with ... see all copies from $32.98! new only from $36.29!
14 view cover	Unico y Diferente (2000) by Carlos "Patato" Valdes see all copies from $18.13!
