1	King of Kings: The Very Best of Tito Puente (2002) more music like this by Tito Puente Tito Puente was never one for half measures, and even in death there's no modesty involved, as the label calls him King of Kings. It might be an exaggeration, but only a slight one, and it gets the attention. Still, as the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and there's a hearty meal here, albeit one missing one or two choice ... see all copies from $8.45! new only from $12.69!
2	A Little Bit of Mambo (1999) more music like this by Lou Bega Out of left field came German-born, Italian/Ugandan Lou Bega, scoring an international chart-topping single with his infectious "Mambo No. 5" -- the only thing that kept it from reaching the top of the U.S. charts was the fact that no American commercial single was ever issued. The rest of Bega's album, A Little Bit of Mambo, follows pretty much ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
3	Sabroso: The Afro-Latin Groove (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Sabroso! The Afro-Latin Groove is a terrific 18-track collection of Latin jazz recorded between 1954 and 1972. Many of the songs here are making their debut appearence on CD, and several of the artists here -- including major artists like Willie Bobo -- are underrepresented on disc, so this is a helpful way to round up cool, groove-oriented cuts ... see all copies from $14.04! new only from $19.75!
4	Mambo Sinuendo (2003) more music like this by Ry Cooder & Manuel Galbán Mambo Sinuendo is a collaboration between Ry Cooder and Buena Vista alum (and formerly of many other groups as well) Manuel Galbán. The album attempts to catch an old style popularized in Cuba by Galbán, and was, surprisingly, never followed up on by anybody after Galbán. It's a guitar-based romp closely based in the pop/jazz crossovers of the ... see all copies from $15.94! new only from $15.94!
5	Cape Verde (1999) more music like this by Various Artists One of Putumayo founder Dan Storper's fascinations, the islands of Cape Verde, provide this album with a number of noteworthy performers and their work. As would be expected, the top luminaries of the islands' music are present, with a number each from Césaria Evora (the best-known Cape Verdean performer worldwide) and Bana (the most popular ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $13.37!
6	Dance Mania (1958) more music like this by Tito Puente Dance Mania is probably Puente's best-known album, appearing as it does in several reissue forms and having inspired subsequent More Dance Mania and Dance Mania '80s titles. Part of the reason is that it's his first major album of dance music, in stereo, on RCA. As with most of the rest of his work for the label, it more than lives up to ... see all copies from $6.15! new only from $9.90!
7	Top Percussion (1957) more music like this by Tito Puente A stunner from Puente's golden age, this 1957 recording brought together Tito, Mongo, Willie Bobo, Aguabella, and Julito Collazo on percussion with vocalists that included Mercedita Valdez, in seven wonderful cuts of traditional and (then) contemporary Afro-Cuban skin-on-skin. Then as an unexpected gift, there is a seven-minute Latin-jazz suite ... see all copies from $7.08! new only from $9.00!
8	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Omara Portuondo (2000) more music like this by Omara Portuondo A beautifully executed and produced album by Omara Portuando, the only woman to appear on the original Buena Vista Social Club recordings. Portuando, who is one of Cuba's most acclaimed musicians and a featured performer at the Tropicana, has shown here that, at 70, she still possesses the qualities that helped develop her stardom on her native ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.95!
9	Cugi's Cocktails (1963) more music like this by Xavier Cugat Contrary to the title, Cugi's Cocktails is no sleepy album of "cocktail music." It has all the elements a listener would expect of Xavier Cugat's first great stereo album: an agreeable theme, a dash of exotic flair, and all the bombast of the preceding half-decade of experimenting with high-fidelity stereo recording. "One Mint Julep" would have ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $10.35!
10	Hits Mix (2002) more music like this by Celia Cruz see all copies from $4.99! new only from $6.29!
11 view cover	La Perfecta II (2002) more music like this by Eddie Palmieri Innovative Latin jazz pianist Eddie Palmieri returns to the music of his classic '60s ensemble La Perfecta on La Perfecta II. After disbanding La Perfecta in 1968 due to financial difficulties and later the death of trombonist/partner Barry Rogers in 1991, Palmieri vowed to never again perform the music he made famous. However, presented with the ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $10.29!
12 view cover	Flor de Amor (2004) more music like this by Omara Portuondo Flor de Amor is the second World Circuit outing for Cuban diva Omara Portuondo, whose debut for the label topped the world music charts in 2000. This time out, Portuondo and producers Nick Gold, Jerry Boys, and Alé Siqueira assemble a sultry, steamy, and extremely elegant collection of love songs that are steeped in the popular Cuban bolero, ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $17.94!
13 view cover	The Horseshoe Curve (2007) more music like this by Trey Anastasio Trey Anastasio's The Horseshoe Curve is a collection of cuts taken off the shelf as a stopgap between the guitarist's "real" albums -- at release time, Anastasio was in the fourth month of a court-ordered yearlong drug rehab program. It's too bad in a sense, because it's such a dazzling recording, taken from a period between 2002-2004 when he was ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $12.22!
14 view cover	Hot Timbales!: Out of This World/Mambo of the Times (2002) more music like this by Tito Puente see all copies from $11.10! new only from $11.10!
15 view cover	Party at Puente's Place (2004) more music like this by Tito Puente & His Latin Ensemble Tito Puente was one of the most popular Latin jazz bandleaders during a fair portion of his career. This slim-line two-CD compilation combines two of his best releases from his the early days of his work for Concord Jazz, originally released separately as Broadway and Mambo Diablo. Puente explores standards, classic jazz compositions, music from ... see all copies from $13.12! new only from $16.81!
16 view cover	Navidad En Las Americas (1994) more music like this by Disney Navidad En Las Americas collects renditions of popular Christmas songs by artists like Lucha Villa, Chayanne, Xuxa, and Pedro Fernandez.

17 view cover	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 9: Cha-Cha De Amor (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Cha-cha music at its Whitest and most easy listening-friendly, recorded for Capitol in the 1950s and 1960s by Dean Martin, Julie London, Billy May, Martin Denny, Les Baxter, Walter Wanderley, and a number of other performers who are only coming to light in the lounge revival. Yma Sumac, Perez Prado, and Tito Rodriguez add a little (a very little) ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $10.79!
18 view cover	The Essential Tito Puente (2005) more music like this by Tito Puente An essential collection for most artists would consist of 12 or perhaps even 20 songs. For the man described as "El Rey," however, a man who recorded over 100 LPs during a career that touched seven decades, the parameters need to be widened significantly. And so comes this two-disc, 40-track collection from RCA/Legacy, focusing on Puente's prime ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $21.33!
19 view cover	Salsa, Merengue, Mambo! (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Salsa Merengue Mambo gathers Latin dance hits from the Tribu Band, Isaac Delgado, Mauricio Silva, and Adalberto Alvarez. Maria Rivas' "Mapale," Ednita Nazario's "Tres Deseos," and Grupo Raices' "Tu Serenata" are some of the highlights from this lively collection of salsas, merengues, and mambos. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.55! new only from $10.79!
20 view cover	La Perfecta (1962) more music like this by Eddie Palmieri & La Perfecta One of the best albums released by one of Palmieri's best bands, La Perfecta features 12 crisp, uptempo songs ranging from guajiras to pachangas to sones montuno -- with a cha-cha-cha thrown in for good measure. Palmieri sounds inspired on piano, vocalist Ismael Quintana leads the group well, and the stinging brass section includes major players ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $12.01!
21 view cover	Mambo Diablo (1985) more music like this by Tito Puente Although he was never inactive, the 1980s found Tito Puente in a bit of a renaissance. His exciting Afro-Cuban jazz band had found a home on the Concord Picante label, and his music was increasing in popularity again. This particular CD has a stronger than usual repertoire, including "Take Five," "Lush Life" (done as Latin jazz), "Pick Yourself Up ... see all copies from $8.15! new only from $10.44!
22 view cover	The Original Latin Dance King (2002) more music like this by Xavier Cugat Xavier Cugat had a recording career that stretched over many more years than are covered on this collection. But this single-disc, 26-song anthology of sides from the 1940s and 1950s has to be considered the best collection of his work. This was Cugat's prime, and the tracks boast better fidelity than those he made prior to 1940, if one considers ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $10.66!
23 view cover	Masterpiece/Obra Maestra (2000) more music like this by Tito Puente/Eddie Palmieri For anyone wondering when the two most luminary voices in New York Latin jazz would finally join forces, even if for just a moment, the 2000 release of Masterpiece/Obra Maestra is the answer. A collaboration between big-band Latino king Tito Puente and salsa/jazz great Eddie Palmieri is the stuff that clave dreams are made of. Both taking turns ... see all copies from $12.52! new only from $14.47!
24 view cover	100% Azucar!: The Best of Celia Cruz con la Sonora Matancera (1997) more music like this by Celia Cruz & la Sonora Matancera Female singers are abundant in Latin pop, but for whatever reason, salsa has remained a male-dominated idiom. From the 1950s to the mid-'90s, salsa's most prominent female vocalist has been Celia Cruz, a pearl of a singer rightly exalted as "the Queen of Salsa." This excellent CD focuses largely on the recordings she made with la Sonora Mantancera ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $16.52!
25 view cover	On Broadway (1982) more music like this by Tito Puente The great Latin bandleader Tito Puente has long been one of the pioneers in fusing bebop with very danceable Latin music. On this Concord disc, Puente plays vibes and timbales and utilizes an 11-piece band featuring trumpeter Jimmy Frisaura, Mario Rivera on tenor, soprano and flute, pianist Jorge Dalto and an infectious rhythm section. Jazz ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.44!
