1	El Cantante [Fania] (2007) more music like this by Héctor Lavoe see all copies from $9.87! new only from $13.71!
2	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!
3	Tiempos (1999) more music like this by Rubén Blades 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 $3.89! new only from $9.53!
4	Tras La Tormenta (1995) more music like this by Willie Colón Tras la Tormenta marks yet another chapter in one of salsa's most prosperous collaborations: trombonist/arranger/vocalist Willie Colón and the powerhouse sonero Rubén Blades. With his trademark all-trombone horn section and rich vocal timbre, Colón and his band sound unmistakably powerful and dark. Blades, as the world has come to expect, is an ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Crooklyn (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Spike Lee's Crooklyn is a touching coming-of-age film, set in the early '70s. Appropriately, the soundtrack is crammed with an abundance of smooth soul and gritty R&B from the era. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.49! new only from $4.26!
6	Nuyorican Soul (1997) more music like this by Nuyorican Soul All-star albums are usually dodgy affairs, but the over-arching talents -- and, more importantly, production experience -- of Masters at Work's Kenny Dope and Little Louie Vega keep Nuyorican Soul from being overburdened with cooks. Roy Ayers, George Benson, and Jazzy Jeff contribute prominently to four tracks, and vocalists Jocelyn Brown and ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $13.71!
7	Asalto Navideño (1970) more music like this by Willie Colón/Hector Lavoe A groundbreaking early-'70s recording, Asalto Navideño was a Christmas album, and Christmas is the time when the old jibaro mountain sound comes briefly into its own. Colon hired cuatro player Yomo Toro and gave him a leading role, launching him on a new career. A major album, it includes one of Colon's finest Panamanian-flavored early hits, "La ... see all copies from $8.80! new only from $8.80!
8	The Sun of Latin Music (1973) more music like this by Eddie Palmieri & Friends con Lalo Rodriguez A master of the traditional and the progressive, the styles of the past and the bright, swinging future, Eddie Palmieri is one of the most influential Latino pianists of the 20th century. His extreme versatility and artistic vision are brilliantly displayed on The Sun of Latin Music. While most Latin jazz musicians fall into either staunch ... see all copies from $6.23! new only from $6.75!
9	Bang! Bang! Push, Push, Push (1966) more music like this by Joe Cuba Sextet Joe Cuba vaulted from the barrio into the mainstream via 1966's Bang! Bang! Push, Push, Push, a relentlessly energetic and inventive record that brilliantly translates elements of Latin jazz, R&B, and Motown to virtually define the emerging boogaloo sound. The album's multi-culti sensibilities remain a harbinger of the changes to come not just in ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.01!
10	Across 110th Street (2004) more music like this by Spanish Harlem Orchestra The Spanish Harlem Orchestra is back and they're even tighter and more swinging than before. They've added vocalists Willie Torres and Marcos Bermudez to replace Hermán Olivera and Frankie Vázquez, while keeping the fine vocalist Ray de la Paz in the band. Torres sings lead on cover versions of "Dime Si Llegue a Tiempo" and "Maestro de Rumberos," ... see all copies from $6.79! new only from $14.88!
11 view cover	Victor Manuelle (1996) more music like this by Victor Manuelle This is the recording that made Victor Manuelle a household name, placing him in the front rank of the most celebrated Puerto Rican salsa singers. The typically loud and brash Sergio George production seems an adequate backdrop for the talents of the improvisational singer, who finally reached his personal identity with this CD. This production ... see all copies from $3.66! new only from $6.29!
12 view cover	La Voz (1975) more music like this by Héctor Lavoe The title of this album surely says it all. Anyone unfamiliar with this "Cantante de los Cantantes" will be left spellbound with the melted-butter quality of his voice. In the first track, "En Todopoderoso," within his first verse Héctor Lavoe sets himself far apart from all contemporaries by virtue of his angelic timbre, only to later outdo ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $12.01!
13 view cover	Siembra (1978) more music like this by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades The high point of Willie Colón's ongoing collaboration with Rubén Blades (and close to a career peak for both artists), Siembra exploded on the salsa scene in 1978 and has never been forgotten by fans. Beginning with a minute of playfully deceptive quasi-disco arrangements, Colón and his band slip into a devastating salsa groove for the opener, ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $12.01!
14 view cover	Rubén Blades y Son del Solar...Live! (1990) more music like this by Rubén Blades y Son del Solar 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 $5.85! new only from $10.87!
15 view cover	Feliz Navidad (2006) more music like this by Hector Lavoe/Yomo Toro/Daniel Santos see all copies from $10.31! new only from $12.01!
16 view cover	El Barrio: Gangsters, Latin Soul & the Birth of Salsa (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Such were the ups and downs of music in the late '60s and early '70s that Fania could later compile a darkside companion to its sunny boogaloo compilation (The Bad Boogaloo) and have the time span for both be virtually identical. This one, titled El Barrio: Gangsters Latin Soul & the Birth of Salsa, spends most of its time in the early '70s, when ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $13.20!
17 view cover	A Man and His Music: La Voz (2007) more music like this by Héctor Lavoe No one made salsa great more than Willie Colón, but a large part of what made Colón great was Héctor Lavoe. "El Cantante" was the greatest vocalist in salsa history, a man whose gift for vocal improvisation and rhythm was in similar company with James Brown and Ray Charles -- and precious few others. He sang his lines with the same melodic ... see all copies from $12.28! new only from $17.69!
18 view cover	Live at Yankee Stadium, Vol. 1 (1976) more music like this by Fania All-Stars In the '70s, Fania Records was often called "the Motown of salsa," and in fact, Fania was every bit as important to salsa as Motown was to soul. Fania's '70s roster boasted some of the decade's biggest names in Afro-Cuban music; so when Fania assembled a band called the Fania All-Stars, you knew that some major-league salseros would be on board. ... see all copies from $7.78! new only from $12.01!
19 view cover	The Essential Ray Barretto: A Man and His Music (2007) more music like this by Ray Barretto Since Fania began remastering and reissuing its vast catalog on CD, and putting together some of the most killer compilations of Latin jams ever heard, they've discovered an entirely new audience from the beat and crate diggers who could seldom find the original LPs on Tico or its own named imprint. That said, there is a consistently irritating ... see all copies from $12.91! new only from $17.04!
20 view cover	El Juicio (1972) more music like this by Willie Colón see all copies from $9.94! new only from $12.01!
21 view cover	Antecedente (1988) more music like this by Rubén Blades y Son del Solar 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 $3.74! new only from $13.59!
22 view cover	Live at the Cheetah, Vol. 1 (1971) more music like this by Fania All-Stars Recorded live at New York's premier discotheque with the usual, stellar All-Stars lineup, the groove is incessant, the mood exultant, and the players palpably happy with the audience and themselves as they exchange licks. The tunes are a bit long -- "Quitate Tu," the closer, is a 16-minute jam session in which the band members one by one ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $12.01!
23 view cover	Greatest Hits (2007) more music like this by Héctor Lavoe see all copies from $9.87! new only from $13.71!
24 view cover	Fantasmas (1981) more music like this by Willie Colón see all copies from $10.31! new only from $12.01!
25 view cover	Soy (2008) more music like this by Victor Manuelle see all copies from $11.85! new only from $14.90!
