1	Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) more music like this by Rodrigo y Gabriela add to wishlist 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 $8.75! new only from $10.67!
2	Buena Vista Social Club (1997) more music like this by Buena Vista Social Club add to wishlist 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 $9.99! new only from $14.95!
3	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Omara Portuondo (2000) more music like this by Omara Portuondo add to wishlist 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 $3.53! new only from $12.95!
4	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer (1999) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer add to wishlist 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 $3.88! new only from $12.72!
5	Putumayo Presents: Afro-Latin Party (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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, ... see all copies from $8.48! new only from $8.48!
6	Una Sangre (One Blood) (2004) more music like this by Lila Downs add to wishlist 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 $3.35! new only from $11.06!
7	Buenos Hermanos (2003) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer add to wishlist 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 $15.38! new only from $15.38!
8	Putumayo Presents: Cuba (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $12.19! new only from $12.51!
9	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Manuel Guajiro Mirabal (2005) more music like this by Manuel "El Guajiro" Mirabal add to wishlist see all copies from $12.46! new only from $12.46!
10	Ketukuba (2006) more music like this by Africando add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from $20.58! new only from $20.58!
11	Lo Mejor de lo Mejor (2001) more music like this by Beny Moré add to wishlist 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." Although there aren't any liner notes, simply listing the ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
12	Mujer de Cabaret (2007) more music like this by Puerto Plata add to wishlist 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 $11.01! new only from $11.01!
13	Martina (2003) more music like this by Africando add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from $17.47! new only from $17.47!
14	The Essential Ibrahim Ferrer (2006) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from $26.35! new only from $26.35!
15	Ahora Si! (2004) more music like this by Cachao add to wishlist see all copies from $11.75! new only from $11.75!
16	Tribute to the Cuarteto Patria (2000) more music like this by Eliades Ochoa add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from $1.99!
17	Arte Mixto: Sin Chisme (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $3.72! new only from $17.49!
18	100% Azucar!: The Best of Celia Cruz con la Sonora Matancera (1997) more music like this by Celia Cruz & la Sonora Matancera add to wishlist 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 $10.37! new only from $10.37!
19	Isabela (2007) more music like this by Ricardo Lemvo add to wishlist see all copies from $15.43! new only from $15.43!
20	Musica Original de Cuba (2006) more music like this by Bola de Nieve add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from $8.83! new only from $8.83!
21	Before Night Falls (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist 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!
22	¡Cubanismo! [Hannibal ] (1996) more music like this by Jesús Alemañy add to wishlist ¡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 ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.70!
23	Fire in the Youth (2007) more music like this by B-Side Players add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
24	Ay Caramba! (2006) more music like this by Ska Cubano add to wishlist 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 $8.00! new only from $13.93!
25	Son...Para El Mundo (2006) more music like this by Jorge Celedon add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.08!
