by
Perez Prado
Following the successes of his previous albums, mostly reissues of proven hits in Mexico, Prado was entitled to do his own, progressive thing at least for one album. Havana, 3 a.m. sneaked past the dance-music censors at RCA and kicked down the doors for acceptance of authentic Latin music in the U.S. Immediately into the first track, "La Comparsa ...

Desi Arnaz
Twenty tracks from his 1946-49 prime, mostly paced by Arnaz himself on vocals, with some instrumentals and occasional pieces for female singers Jane Harvey, Elsa Miranda, and Amanda Lane. Sure, this is sometimes corny, but more often it's invigorating Latin big-band pop, Arnaz' conga and quasi-operatic vocals to the forefront. Those who dismiss ...

Perez Prado
"Prez" was the album that brought Perez Prado, the King of the Mambo, into the American mainstream. On the record, he rearranged pop hits to fit the Latin dance idiom, adding a few genuine mambos for good measure. Though the album wasn't pure mambo, it was simply delightful music and it illustrated how to bring world music to a broader, popular ...

It is a shame that it took Ry Cooder to shed some light on literally dozens of dynamic talents from Cuba, but thankfully they are receiving their due, albeit posthumously in some cases. Benny Moré died in 1963, but he is often regarded as one of the leading legends of the Latin scene, and no wonder. Whether it is the strong Latin-meets-tango flair ...

Like many various-artists anthologies on the Union Square group of labels, Nu Latin is not so much a best-of for its genre, or even strongly thematically linked by a mini-genre or region of origin. It's more a wide-ranging survey of Latin music being made in the late '90s and early 2000s, giving listeners a reasonable idea of some of the forms the ...
