Rodrigo y Gabriela

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer

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 ...

Putumayo Presents: Afro-Latin Party

Putumayo Presents: Afro-Latin Party (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Putumayo Presents: Afro-Latin Party might give the idea of frantic, sweaty rhythms, and mambos and salsas at hyperspeed. Instead, this collection focuses more on the genre called son, with some low-key salsa and rumba thrown in for good measure. Africando, the superstar band made up of West African and Latin musicians, claims most of the honors, ...

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 ...

Buenos Hermanos

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 ...

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 ...

Ketukuba

Ketukuba (2006) more music like this

by Africando

Some bands just can't put a foot wrong, and Africando is one of them. Their African-voiced salsa is always a joy, and this is no different as they reconnect the dots between West Africa and the Americas. Here, the African roots shine strong, especially on the cover of Franco's "Mario" which positively sizzles. But everything works, from the ...

by Beny Moré

Part of RCA Victor's epic series of two-disc, 40-track sets spanning the best Latin music of the 20th century, Beny Moré's Lo Mejor de lo Mejor features all of his classic recordings from the '40s and '50s, including "Yiri Yiri Bon," "Sopa de Pichon," "La Culebra," and "Mata Siguaraya."

Mujer de Cabaret

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 ...

Martina

Martina (2003) more music like this

by Africando

Martina, Africando's sixth studio album, continues the group's unique take on African and classic Cuban styles. The group hasn't dropped a beat and this album is a testimony to its staying power. This is helped by a continual injection of new talent built on a solid foundation of some of the best African, Latin, and Antillean musicians performing ...

The Essential Ibrahim Ferrer (2006) more music like this

by Ibrahim Ferrer

First things first: The Essential Ibrahim Ferrer is not a hastily assembled, dodgy collection of questionable sound and material designed to cash in on the man's name and legend. Manteca's Cuban Legends series has regularly compiled retrospectives of different artist's works (see the The Essential Compay Segundo volume), paying careful ...

Tribute to the Cuarteto Patria

Tribute to the Cuarteto Patria (2000) more music like this

by Eliades Ochoa

One of the most talented members of the Buena Vista Social Club project, Eliades Ochoa was slower to gain wider recognition outside of Cuba after the project than Ibrahim Ferrer or Ruben Gonzalez, which is a shame because while his campesino style may not be as polished as some of the more urban traditions of his contemporaries, his guitar ...

100% Azucar!: The Best of Celia Cruz con la Sonora Matancera

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 ...

Musica Original de Cuba

Musica Original de Cuba (2006) more music like this

by Bola de Nieve

Recorded in Havana in 1959 for the Sonotone label, this 17-song set captures the great Cuban singer and pianist Ignacio Villa (whose stage name was Bola de Nieve, which translates, ironically, as "Snowball") in an intimate setting: it's just him and the piano. These sons and mambos are alternately hilarious, deeply romantic, sad and melancholy, or ...

Before Night Falls

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 ...

¡Cubanismo! [Hannibal ] (1996) more music like this

by Jesús Alemañy

¡Cubanismo! is a rollicking, entertaining collection of Cuban-inspired jazz recorded with pianist Alfredo Rodriguez and a host of Havana musicians. Jesús Alemañy sounds vigorous throughout the album, spurring his team of supporting musicians to great performances. It's an album that emphasizes the Latin rhythms of Latin jazz, not the jazz and it ...

Fire in the Youth (2007) more music like this

by B-Side Players

The San Diego-based B-Side Players had been giving the revolution a groove for almost 15 years when 2007 arrived, playing music like Rage Against the Machine meets War with a heavy injection of son and some other Latin flavors (the "B" stands for "Brown"). With Fire in the Youth, vocalist and leader Karlos Paez has grown up without clamping down ...

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 ...
