1	Lagrimas Negras (2004) more music like this by Bebo & Cigala Lágrimas Negras (Black Tears) is a collaborative effort between the octogenarian Cuban piano master Bebo Valdés and the reigning Spanish flamenco cantador, Dieguito El Cigala. Recorded for Fernando Trueba and Nat Chediak's Calle 54 label, the sessions took place in Madrid between September and December 2002. Maestro Valdés (born in 1918), the ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $6.75!
2	Hanapepe Dream (2003) more music like this by Taj Mahal & the Hula Blues Recorded in the year 2000 in Bremen and in Hawaii, Hanapepe Dream is ethnomusicologist, guitarist, and composer Taj Mahal's own gumbo of Caribbean, Polynesian, African, and American folk roots styles done up in the glorious dress of "song," for anyone who has ears to hear, feet to shuffle, and an ass to shake. Featuring a large band replete with ... see all copies from $3.57! new only from $15.85!
3	A Toda Cuba Le Gusta (1997) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars A lively, spontaneous record that manages to sound both relaxed and forceful at the same time, A Toda Cuba Le Gusta shows off the talents of many of Cuba's elder statesmen of Afro-Cuban jazz. Over gently pulsating conga grooves and low-register ostinatos, such luminaries as pianist Ruben Gonzalez and singer Manuel "Puntillita" Licea float dramatic ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $16.52!
4	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!
5	A Night at Club Baobab (2006) more music like this by Orchestra Baobab see all copies from $11.46! new only from $11.46!
6	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!
7	Putumayo Presents: French Caribbean (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Putumayo Presents: French Caribbean isn't the first time a Putumayo compilation has had an Afro-Caribbean orientation, but is the first Putumayo disc that has focused specifically on the Afro-French side of Afro-Caribbean music. Unlike 1997's Caribbean Party and 1999's Caribe! Caribe!, this CD is almost devoid of English lyrics -- all of the ... see all copies from $11.23! new only from $13.37!
8	Patato & Totico (1967) more music like this by Patato & Totico The landmark recording Patato & Totico belongs neither entirely to rhumberos nor to jazzers. The musical style will feel very familiar to those familiar with Cuba's rhumba tradition, which springs from the ritual songs of Yorubans and their descendants who found themselves sold into servitude to Cuba's sugar and tobacco plantations. The ensemble ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $9.92!
9	Cuba Tu Isla (2005) more music like this by Havana Mambo see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.62!
10	Cool Fire (2003) more music like this by Cal Tjader This two-CD compilation brings together two outstanding recordings from late in Cal Tjader's career. The first disc, released as A Fuego Vivo, comes from a 1981 concert at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. One thing apparent right away is that Tjader is generous in featuring and acknowledging the contributions of his sidemen, in ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $17.06!
11	Pirate's Choice: The Legendary 1982 Session (1982) more music like this by Orchestre Baobab The reissue of this 1982 classic -- so named because the album from the Senegalese band was pirated all over West Africa -- is a thing of beauty, especially considering a whole other album of six more tracks comes appended to the remastered original. So what makes it a classic and worthy of reissue 20 years on? It's all about the music, a ... see all copies from $13.70! new only from $19.77!

13 view cover	Paradise in Trouble (2003) more music like this by Chris Washburne & The Syotos Band Q: How does a guy born and bred in the Midwest make authentic Latin jazz? A: By submerging himself in the cross-cultural melting pot of the New York scene. His Ph.D. in ethnomusicology also helps, as does playing weekly with his Syotos band at one of the best jazz clubs (Smoke) and one of the top Latin clubs (Nuyorican Poets Cafe). Chris Washburne ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.00!
14 view cover	Distinto Diferente (1999) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars Introduced into a completely different climate for Latin music compared to the Afro-Cuban All Stars' 1997 debut, Distinto Diferente undoubtedly benefits from the increased commercial and artistic attention given to Afro-Cuban music in the wake of the Buena Vista Social Club (which includes many of the same members). Leader Juan de Marcos González ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
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!

18 view cover	Cogele el Gusto (1998) more music like this by Wayne Gorbea Perhaps an early response to the success of the Buena Vista Social Club, Wayne Gorbea and his group, Salsa Picante, were finally signed to a nationwide label to record the hot Afro-Cuban collection Cogele el Gusto, a very similar blend of traditional Cuban son and lively Latin jazz. A fixture of New York's Latin jazz scene, Gorbea is very much a ... see all copies from $12.63! new only from $17.27!
19 view cover	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, ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!

21 view cover	Llegó Van Van (1999) more music like this by Los Van Van Los Van Van's Llegó Van Van shows off their diverse, energetic sound once more. Produced by group leader Juan Formell and engineer Charlie Dos Santos, the band's first release on Havana Caliente features their spicy mix of timba, songo, charanga, salsa, jazz, and rock, and songs like "Permiso Que Llego Van Van" explain why they are still Cuba's ... see all copies from $3.79!

23 view cover	Live in America (2003) more music like this by Los Van Van It's an auspicious pleasure to be present for the long-awaited U.S. debut performance of Cuba's favorite dance band, thanks to this CD for the AJ label, Live in America. The energy in the room and the fire of the performance are palpable and jump out through the speakers. With the inclusion of crowd favorites like "Que le Den Candela," ... see all copies from $4.27! new only from $4.27!
