1	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 $2.76! new only from $14.95!
2	Chanchullo (2000) more music like this by Rubén González add to wishlist While perhaps a little bit more rambling and less focused than his American solo debut Introducing Ruben Gonzalez, this album nonetheless presents some lush piano arrangements supported by mellow Cuban percussion. Gonzalez is an extremely fluid player and his sometimes complex improvisations seem to constantly come off without a hitch, which is ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $15.38!
3	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 $8.49! new only from $8.49!
4	Rough Guide to Salsa: Second Edition (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This second edition of the guide comes eight years after the first, and salsa has come a long way in that time. Pulling from various Latin styles, it all came together in New York before going international -- Congo-based Kékélé do salsa in beautiful graceful style, showing how the influences moved back and forth between continents. Ricardo Lemvo ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $13.25!
5	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!
6	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 $12.47! new only from $12.47!
7	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!
8	Sublime Illusion (1999) more music like this by Eliades Ochoa add to wishlist Cuban guitarist and Buena Vista Social Club member Eliades Ochoa returns with 1999's Sublime Illusion, which features guarachas and boleros with an added dash of spice from guest musicians like Ry Cooder, David Hidalgo, and Charlie Musselwhite. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.99! new only from $17.19!
9	Reencarnacion (1998) more music like this by ¡Cubanismo! add to wishlist As the title suggests, Cubanismo's third album is a reincarnation of sorts, with several new band members and an even greater variety of musical stylings explored. One thing that hasn't changed is the almost tangible intensity and excitement that Jesus Alemany and company bring to every song, whether a traditional Cuban number originally performed ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $6.53!
10	Tibiri Tabara (1998) more music like this by Sierra Maestra add to wishlist This large band creates a bright testament to the glories of Cuban music, from son to changui. If your hips don't shake and your heart doesn't pound, call the doctor: you may be dead. ~ Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.99! new only from $16.52!
11	Hecho en Cuba, Vol. 3 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The success of the Buena Vista Social Club movie led to the revival of the careers of several veteran Cuban singers and musicians. The three-volume Hecho en Cuba mostly features the same elderly musicians but its packaging is a bit of a nightmare. There is no mention anywhere where these selections came from or their dates, whether they have been ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
12	A la Casa de la Trova (2005) more music like this by Eliades Ochoa add to wishlist To the average North American listener, the distinctions between trova, sones, guarachas, and guajiras may not be worth drawing. Apparently Eliades Ochoa -- who was previously featured on the wildly popular Buena Vista Social Club album -- is a master of all these Cuban pop music genres, and this collection touches on all of them. To those who ... see all copies from $5.96! new only from $5.96!
13	Natural (2006) more music like this by Pedro Luis Ferrer add to wishlist see all copies from $13.76! new only from $13.76!
14	Greetings from Havana (2007) more music like this by ¡Cubanismo! add to wishlist For over a decade, ¡Cubanismo! has steadily extended their reputation as one of the most popular bands playing traditional Afro-Cuban music (think of them as a modern, younger Buena Vista Social Club). The group's audience in the United States (where they first performed) grew to be a sizable one, aided by frequent touring during their early years ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $14.19!
15	Cuba Con Leche (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $12.41! new only from $12.41!
16	Si, Para Usted: The Funky Beats of Revolutionary Cuba, Vol. 1 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Post-revolutionary Cuba isn't the first place to look for the influence of American funk and psychedelic experimentation, but Dan Zacks of the Waxing Deep radio show makes the case -- with the music he selects here and his informed liner notes -- that Cuba produced its fair share of free-form music in the '70s and '80s. Zacks sets the story in a ... see all copies from $17.93! new only from $17.93!
17	Rustico (2005) more music like this by Pedro Luis Ferrer add to wishlist The Cuban singer and songwriter Pedro Luis Ferrer lives and works in an interesting sort of artistic twilight zone. Unlike most of his colleagues (some of whom were jailed in 2004 on charges of political dissidence), he has been able to write and sing his mildly critical political songs without serious repercussion -- yet. He is even allowed to ... see all copies from $14.69! new only from $14.69!
18	Cubalive!: Recorded Live in Cuba (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Whether it bursts onto the sidewalk from a bustling café or wafts over high-stone walls from a carnival parade blocks away, music in Cuba is omnipresent and multi-faceted. Cubalive!: Recorded Live in Cuba culls its 13 tracks from the three previously released volumes of Rounder's Routes of Rhythm series. So, while it's technically volume four, it ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
19	Una Aventura Mas (2007) more music like this by Malecon Social Club add to wishlist see all copies from $6.28! new only from $6.28!
20	Sextetos Cubanos "Sones, Vol. 2" (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist These early records from four sextetos range from the illustrious Nacional and Boloña to the equally fine but less known Matancero (led by the great Isaac Oviedo), and Occidente -- a rarity in that one of its lead singers was a woman. All are prime, though Occidente is a little weaker than the rest, but more important all have the tart and ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
21	The Very Best of ¡Cubanismo!: ¡Mucho Gusto! (2001) more music like this by ¡Cubanismo! add to wishlist ¡Cubanismo! might have started a year before the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon, but there's no doubt the latter -- in addition to constant touring -- has helped them break through to real success. There's little that's revolutionary about Jesús Alemañy's Cuban blend, as it harks bark heavily to both the dance music of the '40s and '50s, as ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
22	Mardi Gras Mambo: Cubanismo! in New Orleans (2000) more music like this by ¡Cubanismo!/John Boutte/The Yockamo All-Stars add to wishlist This album is the product of Cubanismo's self-professed love of New Orleans, also the city in which the band held its first concert. Jesus Alemany arranges the works here for his band in conjunction with a number of New Orleans resident players and singers. The result is often good, though it can be seemingly plagued by competition between the two ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
23	Son Highlights from Cuba (1993) more music like this by Sierra Maestra add to wishlist see all copies from $21.99! new only from $21.99!
24	Guajiro Sin Fronteras: Grandes Exitos (2005) more music like this by Eliades Ochoa add to wishlist see all copies from $17.19! new only from $17.19!
25	Sonando Rico (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Sonando Rico is an exuberant collection of salsa, son, and Cuban jazz numbers that backs up its energetic cover shot with summery, street-smart grooves. The set includes performances from Los Van Van and Grupo la Clave, as well as NG La Banda, who turn in the romantic son ballad "Vuelo Paloma." It's the mildest track on the record, as the rest of ... see all copies from $17.14! new only from $17.14!
