Cugi's Cocktails

Cugi's Cocktails (1963) more music like this

by Xavier Cugat

Contrary to the title, Cugi's Cocktails is no sleepy album of "cocktail music." It has all the elements a listener would expect of Xavier Cugat's first great stereo album: an agreeable theme, a dash of exotic flair, and all the bombast of the preceding half-decade of experimenting with high-fidelity stereo recording. "One Mint Julep" would have ...

Tata Masamba

Tata Masamba (1996) more music like this

by Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca

The Cuban-African pop music connection has been going strong almost since the first invasion of 78 rpm phonograph records into Africa. Lately, various Zairean musicians have delved back into the Cuban roots of soukous (formerly known in Africa as rumba) with brilliant results. But none have gone the route as seamlessly as transplanted Zairean ...

La Perfecta

La Perfecta (1962) more music like this

by Eddie Palmieri & La Perfecta

One of the best albums released by one of Palmieri's best bands, La Perfecta features 12 crisp, uptempo songs ranging from guajiras to pachangas to sones montuno -- with a cha-cha-cha thrown in for good measure. Palmieri sounds inspired on piano, vocalist Ismael Quintana leads the group well, and the stinging brass section includes major players ...

Poet of the Piano

Poet of the Piano (2001) more music like this

by Carmen Cavallaro

Carmen Cavallero was the grand master of popular piano during the 1940s and '50s. Living Era's Poet of the Piano borrows its title from an old Decca double LP that contained the same number of tracks and some of the same selections. More passionate than his idol Eddy Duchin, Cavallero was a skilled interpreter of romantic jazz/pop standards like ...

Gershwin Goes Latin/Friml and Romberg in Cuban Moonlight (2002) more music like this

by Stanley Black

Stanley Black was a jazz pianist and British dance band arranger who matured into a successful composer of film scores as well as a prolific creator of mostly instrumental thematic easy listening albums. Gershwin Goes Latin and Friml and Romberg in Cuban Moonlight are definitive examples of Black's excellent approach to lounge music. The Gershwin ...

Gombo Salsa

Gombo Salsa (1996) more music like this

by Africando

On Gombo Salsa, Africando moves into even higher and hotter musical territory. The band continues to polish its radiant mixture of classic mambos, sones, boleros, and cha-chas. However, on this album listeners do not hear the voice of Pape Seck. He died unexpectedly in 1995 before the release of their second album. His raspy, gritty voice will ...

No, No, No, Cha Cha Cha (1993) more music like this

by Brave Combo

Brave Combo have long been enthusiastic ambassadors of modernized ethnic dance music long before the terms "worldbeat" and "world music" were in vogue. Their recordings generally include equal parts Eastern European, Latin influenced, and original zaniness. This album, however, concentrates solely on music and dance styles indigenous to Latin ...

Tico Tico (2004) more music like this

by Ethel Smith

Seasoned collectors of obscure 10" records instantly recognize this album cover; dolled up in her tight bodice, Hammond organist Ethel Smith has been grabbing at the keyboard and baring her teeth in used record stores for decades. More interesting than the soporific Ken Griffin, she usually materializes in a playful, zany aspect that wins her a ...

Box of Ghosts (2003) more music like this

by Brave Combo

Over the years, Brave Combo has applied their patented formula to everything from "Double Vision" (Foreigner) and "Purple Haze" to "Tubular Bells" and the "Theme From Rosemary's Baby." It really should come as no surprise that they're now ready to tackle the classics. Fifteen classical melodies, some known to just about everyone, others less ...

Indestructible Spirit (2007) more music like this

by Johnny Blas

At long last, Latin jazzman Johnny Blas is back with a new recording, his first in the 21st century. It has been eight years since King Conga, almost a decade since Mambo 2000, and almost 11 since his debut for Cubop in 1997 with Skin & Bones. Those records, with their quartet of trombones (one of them played by Dan Weinstein, who was the band's ...

Cuba, Isla de la Musica (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Cuba, Isla de la Musica is a beautiful compilation from Spain of moving, diverse tracks that crisscross genres and eras. These 12 tracks come from both well-known and only-for-the-connoisseur talent, but it doesn't change the fact that what is here is deeply moving, sublime music. Grupo Sierra Maestra and Trio Matamoros are here as are Beny Moré ...

Legends of Cuban Music (2006) more music like this

by Orquesta Aragón

A compilation of some of their biggest songs from 1955 and 1958, Orquesta Aragón's Legends of Cuban Music is a pretty great selection of the band's earlier work. A perennial favorite, "El Bodeguero," acts as the opening track, and "Tres Lindas Cubanas," "Yo Tengo una Muñeca," "Sabronsona," and "Señor Juez" are all included as well. The band itself ...

Unforgettable: Son (2006) more music like this

by Beny Moré

These tunes come from the prime of Beny Moré's career when he was leading his own orchestra that was one of the most celebrated in Cuban musical history. These sons are the early day progenitors of salsa and one of the great breakouts in the country's musical tradition. Though sons were often traditional in nature, Moré and his countrymen made ...

Speak Up [Fania] (2000) more music like this

by Al Castellanos

"Speak Up Mambo" was Al Castellanos' first big hit with Mardi Gras, a precursor to his great tongue-twister (or speed vocal), "Merengue Ta-Ka-Ta." The album is one the label's best, and Castellanos does equally well with cha chas, mambos, and merengues in equal parts. ("Are You Kidding" is a very strange, inventive jam with a mostly spoken and ...

The Bronx Horns; Bobby Porcelli (alto sax), Ray Vega (trumpet) and Mitch Frohman (tenor and soprano sax/flute), have (collectively) been the horn section for Mongo Santamaria and Tito Puente for the past decade. Now they step out with this recording rich of horns, bubbling of percussion. The rhythm section should be called "The Bronx Drums," they ...
