1	Rodrigo y Gabriela (2006) more music like this by Rodrigo y Gabriela 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 $14.00! new only from $14.00!
2	Buena Vista Social Club (1997) more music like this by Buena Vista Social Club 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 $15.55! new only from $15.55!
3	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer (1999) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer 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 $10.00! new only from $16.52!
4	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Manuel Guajiro Mirabal (2005) more music like this by Manuel "El Guajiro" Mirabal see all copies from $17.94! new only from $17.94!
5	Putumayo Presents: Cuba (1999) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $13.37! new only from $13.37!
6	Super Exitos (1994) more music like this by La Sonora Dinamita Including 16 favorites from La Sonora Dinamita, Super Exitos is an excellent collection of cumbias including songs like "Capullo y Sorullo," "Mi Cucu," "La Parabolica," and "Mete y Saca," among others. Earl Simmons, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.56! new only from $10.56!
7	Una Sangre (One Blood) (2004) more music like this by Lila Downs 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 $5.64! new only from $7.51!
8	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Omara Portuondo (2000) more music like this by Omara Portuondo 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 $8.00! new only from $12.95!
9	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 $10.43! new only from $16.90!
10	The Mavericks [2003] (2003) more music like this by The Mavericks On their first studio album since leaving MCA in 1999, the Mavericks find themselves at a creative crossroads. While vocalist and songwriter Raul Malo is able to freely indulge his muse on any number of projects, the band as whole has been making numerous musical decisions. The results are not always positive. First, the good news: when at their ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11 view cover	Before Night Falls (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack 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 $3.85! new only from $13.78!
12 view cover	Bridge to Havana (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Bridge to Havana is the recorded result of a U.S. Treasury Department cultural goodwill trip that sent 100 recording artists to Havana to collaborate with Cuba's musicians in writing, recording, and producing new music. Here, vocalists and songwriters such as Gladys Knight, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Peter Frampton, Bonnie Raitt, Mick Fleetwood, Joan ... see all copies from $11.35! new only from $13.42!
13 view cover	100% Azucar!: The Best of Celia Cruz con la Sonora Matancera (1997) more music like this by Celia Cruz & la Sonora Matancera 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 $8.00! new only from $16.85!
14 view cover	Ahora Si! (2004) more music like this by Cachao see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.90!
15 view cover	Flor de Amor (2004) more music like this by Omara Portuondo Flor de Amor is the second World Circuit outing for Cuban diva Omara Portuondo, whose debut for the label topped the world music charts in 2000. This time out, Portuondo and producers Nick Gold, Jerry Boys, and Alé Siqueira assemble a sultry, steamy, and extremely elegant collection of love songs that are steeped in the popular Cuban bolero, ... see all copies from $17.94! new only from $17.94!
16 view cover	Mujer de Cabaret (2007) more music like this by Puerto Plata 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 $14.19! new only from $14.19!
17 view cover	Ay Caramba! (2006) more music like this by Ska Cubano 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 $10.34! new only from $10.95!
18 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 $6.83! new only from $9.32!
19 view cover	Buenos Hermanos (2003) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer 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 $17.35! new only from $17.35!
20 view cover	Ketukuba (2006) more music like this by Africando 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 $16.98! new only from $16.98!
21 view cover	Orgullo de los Soneros (1998) more music like this by Septeto Habañero see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
22 view cover	Son Radical (2006) more music like this by Juan-Carlos Formell With 13 years of stateside living under his belt, you'd think the novelty of musical freedom might have worn thin by now for Juan-Carlos Formell. Nope. With his smoldering new band, Son Radical, the singer/songwriter, guitarist, and bassist proves more hard-chargingly adventurous than ever. Instead of parting ways with the traditional Cuban son ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
23 view cover	Momentos (2005) more music like this by Rubén González see all copies from $14.69! new only from $14.69!
24 view cover	Una Sola Casa (1993) more music like this by Conjunto Cespedes see all copies from $9.44!
25 view cover	¡Cubanismo! [Hannibal ] (1996) more music like this by Jesús Alemañy ¡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 $10.70! new only from $10.70!
