1	Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) more music like this by Rodrigo y Gabriela While Rodrigo y Gabriela's self-titled third album is an utter and complete joy to listen to -- actually, it's more of a riotous celebration -- it's more than difficult to describe exactly what they do. This Mexican guitar duo met while in a heavy metal outfit together and soon found the local scene wanting. Both had roots in flamenco and other ... see all copies from $9.42! new only from $14.00!
2	Buena Vista Social Club (1997) more music like this by Buena Vista Social Club This album is named after a members-only club that was opened in Havana in pre-Castro times, a period of unbelievable musical activity in Cuba. While bandleader Desi Arnaz became a huge hit in the States, several equally talented musicians never saw success outside their native country, and have had nothing but their music to sustain them during ... see all copies from $6.78! new only from $16.52!
3	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer (1999) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer When the Buena Vista Social Club album was released to great acclaim in 1997, it revived the careers of quite a few incredibly talented aging Cuban musicians. Like Ibrahim Ferrer, most of those musicians (who had been legendary in the '40s through the '70s) hadn't been performing professionally in decades. With the success of the Buena Vista ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $16.52!
4	Son...Para El Mundo (2006) more music like this by Jorge Celedon see all copies from $9.22! new only from $11.92!
5	Una Sangre (One Blood) (2004) more music like this by Lila Downs Una Sangre (One Blood), Lila Downs' fourth album for the Narada label, is her most restless. Downs is best known to American audiences for her appearance in the film Frida (about the legendary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo) and her major contribution to the film's soundtrack. She has long been in the trenches knitting the indigenous music of her ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $7.51!
6	The Mavericks [2003] (2003) more music like this by The Mavericks On their first studio album since leaving MCA in 1999, the Mavericks find themselves at a creative crossroads. While vocalist and songwriter Raul Malo is able to freely indulge his muse on any number of projects, the band as whole has been making numerous musical decisions. The results are not always positive. First, the good news: when at their ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	Cachaito (2001) more music like this by Cachaito Lopez Buena Vista Club mainstay Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez, who is widely regarded as the best bassist in Cuba, could have taken the safe route and recorded a straightforward collection of Cuban son/Latin jazz music. The resulting album may have been a bit predictable and mild, but the high level of musicianship would have ensured a quality product, ... see all copies from $4.93! new only from $11.99!
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	Ay, Candela (2005) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer Ay Candela is the most interesting and compelling kind of compilation recording. Not merely a hastily packaged rehash meant to cash in on a vital artist's current reputation: It is, in essence, a history of the singer and his time, his pattern of travel through Cuba's street fairs, small-time recording studios, night clubs, and finally to the ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.85!
10	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!
11 view cover	Ahora Si! (2004) more music like this by Cachao see all copies from $2.99! new only from $9.96!
12 view cover	Buenos Hermanos (2003) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer Ibrahim Ferrer, the "official" lead vocalist of Buena Vista Social Club, and producer Ry Cooder take numerous chances and many labyrinthine journeys (guaranteed to piss off all of the purists) on their third collaboration for the World Circuit/Nonesuch label, yet manage to come up with the most beautiful fruit of their collaborative efforts to ... see all copies from $13.50! new only from $16.85!
13 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!
14 view cover	Mujer de Cabaret (2007) more music like this by Puerto Plata You hear a lot about Cuban son, but not so much about its Dominican counterpart, although son, along with ranchera, is probably the most widespread of the Latin song styles, even today. However, this debut -- at the tender age of 83 -- by Puerto Plata (his nickname, for the town of his birth; his real name is Jose Manuel Cobles) goes a little way ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
15 view cover	Musica Original de Cuba (2006) more music like this by Frank Emilio Flynn Frank Emilio Flynn is one of the most revered and cherished musicians in the history of Cuban music. His career lasted more than six decades. He was present during every major shift in Cuban music in the 20th century. He died at the age of 80 in 2001. Danzas y Danzones Cubanos was recorded in 1959 for the Sonotone label. The label, run by Manuel ... see all copies from $8.29! new only from $11.48!
16 view cover	Esta Tierra Es Tuya (2007) more music like this by Sones de Mexico Ensemble Chicago This Chicago-based group takes the idea of Mexican son quite a distance, expanding the possibilities and terms of the genre in delightful ways. It takes some remarkably unexpected turns, such as including "Brandenburg Concerto No. 3" by Bach, which actually stands quite naturally close to "Inchapikua" where the instruments intertwine in similar ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
17 view cover	Putumayo Presents: Cuba (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Cuba wasn't the first Afro-Cuban compilation that Putumayo released in the '90s. Latino! Latino! had focused on Afro-Cuban sounds from artists in locations ranging from Africa to South America, while Afro-Latino examined the parallels between African and Latino artists. On Cuba, Putumayo's main focus is on salseros who were active in Cuba in the ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $13.37!
18 view cover	Ay Caramba! (2006) more music like this by Ska Cubano Ska Cubano excel at a style of music that never really existed until they invented it. What they've done is to take Jamaica's pre-reggae ska beat, mix it up with the intrinsically danceable Cuban son and mambo styles, sprinkle in some Colombian cumbia, and filter it all through that whimsical (although they are not jokesters by any means), mildly ... see all copies from $11.35! new only from $12.00!
19 view cover	The Very Best of Beny Moré, Vol. 1 (2004) more music like this by Beny Moré see all copies from $7.29! new only from $9.53!
20 view cover	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Manuel Guajiro Mirabal (2005) more music like this by Manuel "El Guajiro" Mirabal see all copies from $13.31! new only from $13.31!
21 view cover	The Greatest Songs Ever: Cuba [2006] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists With the great amount of talented artists that have come from Cuba, it's confusing why Australian-based Petrol Records decided to have so many repeats on their Greatest Songs Ever: Cuba. The most obvious answer is that there were licensing problems, but the fact that the other albums in this series (Greece, Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Ireland, and ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $19.35!
22 view cover	Cuba [Frank Andrada] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $12.02! new only from $13.91!
23 view cover	Latin Music's First Lady: Her Essential Recordings (2006) more music like this by Celia Cruz Celia Cruz is widely acknowledged as a great 20th century Latin popular music vocalist, and this two-CD set includes 40 songs from various periods of her early career. What, then, could be wrong with it? Well, when you have a wide-ranging anthology of a significant artist, you shouldn't feel as though you have little idea of what was done when. ... see all copies from $9.49! new only from $18.88!
24 view cover	Cuban Originals (1999) more music like this by Beny Moré This volume of RCA's Cuban Originals series spotlights Beny Moré, and includes original recordings of classic songs like "Bonito y Sabroso," "La Culebra," "Rumberos de Ayer," "Mucho Corazon," "Oh Vida," and "Company Jose," all of which feature Moré's powerful voice and dynamic big band backing. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.48! new only from $9.90!
25 view cover	Before Night Falls (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to Before Night Falls, Julian Schnabel's passionate, critically acclaimed portrait of Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas, features an equally compelling collection of Cuban music. Ranging from the Cuban big band of Beny More's "Conoci La Paz" and "El Canonero" to the provincial sounds of Faustino Oromas' "El Tumbaito," the album digs just ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $13.78!
