1	Rubén Blades y Son del Solar...Live! (1990) more music like this by Rubén Blades y Son del Solar add to wishlist All Rubén Blades fans know his wizardry in the studio to be beyond comparison in the salsa world. Though some artists have difficulty making the transition from studio to stage, Blades takes on the challenge like a champ. His prowess as a live performer is in equal proportion to his inventive studio presence. The only disappointing aspect of his ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $10.70!
2	Tiempos (1999) more music like this by Rubén Blades add to wishlist Afro-Cuban purists would have loved it if Rubén Blades had stuck with the type of straight-ahead salsa that put him on the map. But in the '80s, Blades felt the need to branch out and start experimenting with other Latin styles -- a move that disappointed salsa purists while earning him a reputation as one of Latin music's major risk-takers. Even ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $6.83!
3	Una Década (2003) more music like this by Rubén Blades add to wishlist If you've never seen a group of salsa musicians halt mid-conversation, mention Rubén Blades. His name is sure to be followed by a pause, wide eyes, and nods of recognition and respect. To try and compile work that spans a decade of any artist as widely respected and revered as Sr. Blades would prove daunting, but Una Década manages to meet and ... see all copies from $5.76! new only from $8.08!
4	Amor y Control (1992) more music like this by Rubén Blades con Son del Solar add to wishlist Rubén Blades' 1992 release Amor y Control may feature more variety, more stylistic diversity than any other before or after. Considering that Blades has made a career out of musical globetrotting, that's quite a statement. However, with virtually every track choosing a different Latin American or Caribbean nation as it's home, it's quite justified ... see all copies from $4.97! new only from $4.97!
5	Songs of Elvis Costello: Bespoke Songs, Lost Dogs, Detours & Rendezvous (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Elvis Costello has always been one of the most prolific songwriters in pop, writing a considerable number of songs that have never appeared on his official albums. Some were released as B-sides, some sat in the vault -- and some were handed to other artists. The Songs of Elvis Costello: Bespoke Songs, Lost Dogs, Detours & Rendezvous compiles 20 of ... see all copies from $5.35!
6	Sun City: Artists United Against Apartheid (1985) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Sun City was certainly the most political of all of the charity rock albums of the 1980s. Little Steven organized a number of artists for this protest against apartheid, including such heavyweights as Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Jimmy Cliff, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Run-D.M.C, and Lou Reed. Thankfully, the result was extremely ... see all copies from $24.97!
7	Escenas (1985) more music like this by Rubén Blades y Seis de Solar add to wishlist There's a lot going on here, aside from Blades's agreeable duet with Linda Ronstadt and the Joe Jackson solo, which got the press. Besides, pianist Ricardo Marrero has long been on many "most-underrated" lists. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.95!
8	Americanos: Latino Life in the United States (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Americanos: Latino Life in the United States is an exciting, diverse collection reflecting the musical contributions of Latino-American culture. As a part of actor Edward James Olmos' Americanos project, which celebrates Latino-American writing, photography, and music, and includes a documentary on HBO, the album features a wide array of ... see all copies from $1.99!
9	Nothing But the Truth (1988) more music like this by Rubén Blades add to wishlist The first English-language album in the long and illustrious career of Panamanian salsa superstar Rubén Blades, Nothing But the Truth is a strong effort that, if less than great, is fascinating on several counts. The novelty of hearing Blades sing in English is certainly a big draw. He's a fine vocalist and he has the luxury of working with three ... see all copies from $2.63! new only from $10.63!
10	Mundo (2002) more music like this by Rubén Blades add to wishlist All credit goes to Rubén Blades. He sees music as a global thing, and working from his established base of salsa, he's made some very credible connections between musics of the world, never more so than on Mundo, where Latin rhythms meet bagpipes and didgeridoos, Africa comes to Cuba, and the lilt of strings can develop into a percussion fest. In ... see all copies from $6.73! new only from $6.73!
11	Greatest Hits [Musica Latina] (1996) more music like this by Rubén Blades y Seis del Solar add to wishlist see all copies from $8.47! new only from $8.47!
12	La Salsa de Hoy, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $2.20! new only from $8.08!
13	Rosa de los Vientos (1996) more music like this by Rubén Blades add to wishlist Rubén Blades and collaborators offer up Rosa de los Vientos, perhaps more full of mystery and folklore than any previous project. Named for the nautical icon separating north from south, east from west, the album is aptly titled for Blades' use of searching, obscure harmonies and his wide-open sonic landscape. Thanks to the tasteful balance of ... see all copies from $3.18! new only from $13.74!
14	International Music: Sony Music Around the World (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $17.25!
15	Lo Maximo de la Salsa, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Lo Maximo de la Salsa collects some of the most memorable songs from salsa stars such as T.C. Alonso, Manzanita, and Oscar de Leon. Willie Colon's "Cheche Cole," Alvaro Velazquez' "El Preso," Jairo Varela's "Del Puente Pa'lla," and Ruben Blades' "Plastica." Jose Arroyo's "Rebelion" and F. Morales' "No Hay Cama Pa' Tanta Gente" are some of the ... see all copies from $8.62! new only from $8.62!
16	Agua de Luna (1986) by Rubén Blades y Seis del Solar add to wishlist Ruben Blades' musical genius lies not only in his gritty, expressive voice, or in the fantastic musicians he surrounds himself with, although it is certainly there. It is most strongly felt, however, in the strength of his poetic, evocative, yet realistic lyrics; this is Blades' greatest contribution to the evolution of contemporary salsa. His ... see all copies from $8.86! new only from $8.86!
17	Buscando América (1984) more music like this by Rubén Blades & Seis del Solar add to wishlist From the first note of Buscando América, Rubén Blades, with his suitcase and guitar in hand, bids farewell to the world of meat-and-potatoes New York salsa and sets in search of something else. Though many of the tracks eventually find their way back to that driving coro that has become a hallmark of Blades' writing, there are elements present in ... see all copies from $6.83! new only from $6.83!
18	Routes of Rhythm, Vol. 1: Carnival of Cuba (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 1990s Routes of Rhythm, Vol. 1: Carnival of Cuba is the first in a three-part series accenting contemporary and classic Afro-Cuban music and offers a wonderful mix of improvisatory and popular styles. The 16-song disc ranges from Los Van Van's rock and synthesizer-tinged modern songs to Bing Crosby's creamy vocals backed by Xavier Cugat's ... see all copies from $13.20! new only from $16.13!
19	Merengue Club Mix 2001 (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $12.50! new only from $12.50!
20	Asi Es la Musica: La Salsa de Siempre (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Asi Es La Salsa de Siempre isn't the best salsa compilation on the market, but it does have its moments, courtesy of salsa legends like Willie Colón and Ruben Blades. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.24! new only from $2.24!
21	Antecedente (1988) more music like this by Rubén Blades y Son del Solar add to wishlist Although sung in his native tongue, his return to exuberant, dance-oriented salsa breaks through all language barriers. ~ John Floyd, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.08!
22	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!
23	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.

24	Salsa en Grande, Vol. 3 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $4.00!
25	Salsa Caliente de Nu York (2002) more music like this by Rubén Blades add to wishlist For so many Rubén Blades fans, primarily familiar with his later and more exploratory work, this album offers up the opportunity to experience in depth the "straight down the middle" salsa that made him a household name. With selections spanning from 1970 to 1987, this disc captures New York salsa in full bloom, and shows Blades to be one of her ... see all copies from $14.79!
