1	A Toda Cuba Le Gusta (1997) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars add to wishlist 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 $8.00! new only from $12.72!
2	Lagrimas Negras (2004) more music like this by Bebo & Cigala add to wishlist 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 $3.81! new only from $8.04!
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 $8.66! new only from $8.66!
4	Putumayo Presents: French Caribbean (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $7.95! new only from $12.51!
5	Specialist in All Styles (2002) more music like this by Orchestra Baobab add to wishlist Putting a classic band together 15 years after their demise can be a recipe for disaster. In this case, though, World Circuit head Nick Gold has definitely done the world a favor. Orchestra Baobab might be best known for their classic Pirate's Choice, but this disc is every bit the equal -- it's most certainly not Buena Vista Baobab Club. For ... see all copies from $11.29! new only from $12.72!
6	Orientation (2005) more music like this by Thione Seck add to wishlist It's interesting: not long after Senegal's Youssou N'Dour released his very different but celebrated Egypt, countryman Seck -- always a contender but never the champion -- came out with the relatively similar Orientation. Both were recorded a few years previously, and both take the singers into the Arabic world of swirling Egyptian strings in ... see all copies from $11.44! new only from $16.98!
7	Pirate's Choice: The Legendary 1982 Session (1982) more music like this by Orchestre Baobab add to wishlist 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 $10.24! new only from $15.95!
8	Distinto Diferente (1999) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars add to wishlist 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 $4.99! new only from $4.99!
9	World Circuit Presents [Nonesuch] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In 2006 World Circuit released a sampler celebrating its 20th anniversary. Apparently, it worked because World Circuit Presents is another overview of the astonishing array of artists it brings to the general public. We in the United States benefit because its production and distribution deal is with Nonesuch, a label that is part of the Warner ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
10	Cool Fire (2003) more music like this by Cal Tjader add to wishlist 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 $17.28! new only from $17.28!
11	Cuba: I Am Time (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist For such a small island, Cuba has had an enormous musical impact both inside and outside of Latin America. Salsa is the music of choice among Cubans and Puerto Ricans, and Afro-Cuban music has influenced everyone from American jazz players to Dominican merengue artists to Spanish "nuevo flamenco" stars. A four-CD box set, Cuba: I Am Time ... see all copies from $31.81! new only from $31.81!
12	Llegó Van Van (1999) more music like this by Los Van Van add to wishlist 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 $12.90!
13	Arte Mixto: Sin Chisme (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $16.13! new only from $16.13!
14	Live in Japan (2004) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars add to wishlist see all copies from $11.40! new only from $11.87!
15	Descarga en California (2006) more music like this by Rebeca Mauleón add to wishlist Descarga en California offers the best of both worlds. The music is familiar, like home, and yet the performances are so daring that one can't help but feel that they are hearing compana for the first time. Though the disc is noticeably void of piano solos, which seems strange at first, Rebeca Mauleón certainly makes her presence known. She has a ... see all copies from $9.38!
16	Machetazo!: 10 Years on the Edge (1998) more music like this by John Santos & the Machete Ensemble add to wishlist Machetazo! has 11 performances by several versions of John Santos' Machete Ensemble, recorded during 1991-1994 and 1996-1997. There are a few chanting/vocal pieces, but the emphasis is on Santos' strong soloists including Melecio Magdaluyo (on soprano, tenor, and alto), trombonists Wayne Wallace and Jeff Cressman, Ron Stallings (on soprano and ... see all copies from $14.43! new only from $14.43!
17	Un Retrato de la Voz del Danzon (2005) more music like this by Barbarito Diez add to wishlist see all copies from $14.42! new only from $14.42!
18	The Other Road (1973) more music like this by Ray Barretto add to wishlist see all copies from $11.98! new only from $11.98!
19	Step Forward: The Next Generation (2005) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars add to wishlist The Afro-Cuban All Stars are back with a bold new statement for the future. They look boldly toward the horizon with their fourth release, Step Forward: The Next Generation. As the best-publicized "multi-generational" group in the genre, the All Stars may have the best claim of knowledge for what is to come, housing both living legends and ... see all copies from $8.63! new only from $8.63!
20	¡Cubanismo! [Hannibal ] (1996) more music like this by Jesús Alemañy add to wishlist ¡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 $1.99! new only from $10.70!
21	Rezos (2003) more music like this by Bobi Céspedes add to wishlist Perhaps the biggest surprise about this disc is that it's taken so long to happen. Bobi Céspedes has already enjoyed a distinguished career, singing as part of Conjunto Céspedes and with Mickey Hart's Planet Drum. But she's never stepped into the studio under her own name before. On the evidence of Rezos, though, it's to be hoped she'll be back ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
22	Deseos (1997) more music like this by Arte Mixto add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.47!
23	Hanapepe Dream (2003) more music like this by Taj Mahal & the Hula Blues add to wishlist 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 $1.99! new only from $16.19!
24	Cuba Tu Isla (2005) more music like this by Havana Mambo add to wishlist see all copies from $2.63! new only from $10.67!
25	Sacred Rhythms (1996) more music like this by Grupo Liu Ana add to wishlist The music of Santeria comes from Africa, from the Yoruba people of Nigeria, and while it's known by many as voudou, Shango, or Candomble, the roots are the same, although the rituals vary. This album explores the Afro-Cuban system of bata drum playing and the bodies of music known as the Oru del Igbodu and the Oru Cantado . In many ways, this ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $12.97!
