1	The NuYorican Funk Experience, Vol. 2: Further Adventures in Latin Soul (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $20.00! new only from $20.00!
2	Salsa en Carnaval 2002 (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Salsa en Carnaval 2002 gathers a dozen of the year's liveliest salsa songs from artists including Ley Alejandro, Maelo Ruiz, Charlie Cruz, and Tony Vega. Highlights include Jerry Rivera's "Y Se Escapó el Amor," Los Ilegales' "La Ladrone," Frankie Negron's "Enamorado de Ti," and Luis Enrique's "Alma Rosa." Tracks by Ricardo Ray, Jay Lozada, and ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $4.98!
3	Tesoros de la Musica Afrolatina, Vol. 3 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Like the other volumes in the series, Tesoros de la Musica Afrolatina, Vol. 3 compiles various Afro-Latin recordings by relatively well-known artists in the Latin music community. Some of the performances compiled on this third volume include Ruben Blades' "Te Estan Buscando," Serefin Cortez & Su Orchestra's "Herida Sin Cicatriz," Pete "Conde" ... see all copies from $27.78!
4	The Best of Ricardo Ray & Bobby Cruz (1994) more music like this by Ricardo Ray/Bobby Cruz add to wishlist This compilation includes ten selections from Ray and Cruz's early Alegre output, where the pianist/bandleader was partial to both Latin and R&B trends. The album includes "Mr. Trumpet Man," "Tin Marin," "Iqui con Iqui," "Richie's Jala Jala," and "Pancho Cristal" (their take on the famed Alegre producer). A compelling summary of the mid-'60s in ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Jala Jala y Boogaloo, Vol. 2 (1968) more music like this by Ricardo Ray add to wishlist Glue your hat on your head, because this stuff'll blow it right off. Ricardo Ray was one of the great names of '60s Latin boogaloo, the ultra-Latin-New York mix of salsa, jazz, and R&B. A ballad with an elegant neo-classical backing is also wonderful, but the rest has a kick like a dancing mule. ~ John Storm Roberts, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.98! new only from $11.98!
6	Mas Mambo Mania: More Kings and Queens of Mambo (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The second installment in Rhino's Mambo Mania series was probably not intended when the initial release was issued in 1995. Given the meteoric rise in the interest in all things musically Cuban, it is amazing it took them this long to compile what is essentially a compilation of tracks from other albums released in the U.S. This collection is more ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $8.98!
7	Agúzate (1970) more music like this by Ricardo Ray & Bobby Cruz add to wishlist Richie and Bobby's final Alegre effort kicked in their frenzied 1970s creative era, and is one of their most powerful. Both artists are in peak form on tunes like their smash, "Agúzate" and Bobby and Miki Vimari's sentimental Spanish version of Paul Anka's "My Way" ("A Mi Manera"). ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All Music Guide see all copies from $17.14! new only from $17.14!
8	60's Gold (1983) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The Gran Manzana of the '60s, the era of the boogaloo and Latin soul, was an enormously creative and rackety time. This was the era of East Harlem Black-Latin crossover. It brought forth names still famous -- Barretto, Pacheco, Colon -- and names forgotten -- Pagan, Bataan, Colon. Here is Ray's original "El Watusi," and Joe Cuba's "Bang Bang," ... see all copies from $99.99!
9	De Nuevo los Durisimos (1980) more music like this by Ricardo Ray/Bobby Cruz add to wishlist One of the duo's most exciting albums, the '80s represented this group's longing for larger audiences as the merengue rage set in. Nothwithstanding, Ricardo Ray's piano/organ skills are a marvel to listen to and Bobby Cruz's voice seems eerily ageless. The rabid "Luis y Lola" is a demonstration of high-voltage agility packed with pure pow. Their ... see all copies from $89.36!
10	N.Y. Salsa Expolsion (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $35.00!
11	Fania 1964-1994: 30 Great Years, Vol. 1 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $54.99! new only from $54.99!
12	Reconstruccion (1976) more music like this by Ricardo Ray/Bobby Cruz add to wishlist Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz are now in the second half of the '70s with this supercharged production. Incredibly, their two-trumpet conjunto does not sound outdated and continues as forcefully as ever. "Juan en la Ciudad" and "Vanidades de Vanidades" are messages with a tinge of sacred commitment, without missing a beat on the excitement level. ... see all copies from $13.33! new only from $13.33!
13	Salsa en Navidad (1996) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $182.35!
14	Latin Hot!: Hot Latin Jazz from the Big Apple (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $47.52! new only from $47.52!
15	Ricardo Ray Presenta A "La Vimari" (1992) more music like this by Ricardo Ray/Miki Vimari add to wishlist After three years of successful partnership, Ricardo Ray produced this LP showcasing the 20-year-old Vimari, whose sultry voice was an asset for the success of the band in the early years of the decade. As usual, the Richie Ray production never falters, and the young singer shines on cuts like "Otro Amor, Otra Cancion," "Jenny Rebecca," "El ... see all copies from $89.05!
16	Let's Get Down to the Real Nitty Gritty (1968) more music like this by Ricardo Ray add to wishlist Ricardo Ray's foray into rock & roll paid in spades as Ray scored with "Nitty Gritty"; nonetheless, he had a free hand to indulge in many of the R&B/rock hits of the day. Although this effort seems somewhat calculated, it shows another side of the talented artist. Watch for Ray's version of "Soul Man" and "Cool Jerk." ~ José A. Estévez, Jr., All ... see all copies from $16.13! new only from $16.13!
17	Back to Back (1982) more music like this by Ricardo Ray/Bobby Cruz add to wishlist The early '80s marked an overall production slowdown for salsa; however, this did not faze Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz, as they continued to pursue further creative efforts. Tunes like "Nabucodonosor" and "Vive" indicate their newfound religious outlook, an avenue that proved musically favorable for the group. Ray Maldonado and Doc Cheatham are ... see all copies from $6.07! new only from $6.07!
18	New York Latin Salsa (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $6.99!
19	Se Solto (On the Loose) (1966) more music like this by Ricardo Ray add to wishlist This was Ray's first album with Alegre and remains of his most important; at this time, boogaloo was a number one dancing fad, and that enabled this pianist/arranger to unleash his creative imagination in order to lure both English-speaking and Spanish audiences. "Sweedish Schnapps" is Ray at his coolest, and "Lookie, Lookie" matches it; however, ... see all copies from $13.33! new only from $13.33!
20	El Sonido de La Bestia (1980) more music like this by Ricardo Ray add to wishlist see all copies from $7.49!
21	Jala Jala y Boogaloo (1967) more music like this by Ricardo Ray add to wishlist Jala Jala y Boogaloo, Ricardo Ray's second album for Alegre, was one of the best of his career, beginning with a splendid opener, "Richie's Jala Jala," with over five minutes of room for solos by dual trumpeters: Venezuela's Pedro Rafael Chaparoo and Doc Cheatham. While the first side concentrates on solid boogaloo and soul crossovers, Ray and ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $11.98!
22	10 Aniversario (1975) more music like this by Ricardo Ray/Bobby Cruz add to wishlist Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz are now in the mid-'70s, and they turned out one of the best albums of their Vaya period. Excitement is the name of the game with tunes like "La Timba" and the patriotic "Mi Bandera." "Le Llaman Jesús" is based on their newfound faith, and "Comején" is a remake of their 1964 tune. An outstanding effort by this dynamic ... see all copies from $50.97!
23	Swinging 60's Latin (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $4.49! new only from $4.49!
24	Navidad Fania (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $141.78!
25	Jammin' Live (1972) more music like this by Ricardo Ray & Bobby Cruz add to wishlist This was the band's famous live recording where it found itself at the height of its popularity and in the midst of the 1970s salsa explosion. Dizzy Izzy Sanabria hosted this New York recording (at the time, Ray and Cruz were based in Puerto Rico); the band featured Polito Huertas on bass ("Descarga el Bajo") and performed the unqualified smash ... see all copies from $38.27! new only from $38.27!
