1	A Toda Cuba Le Gusta (1997) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars 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 $9.99! new only from $16.85!
2	Specialist in All Styles (2002) more music like this by Orchestra Baobab 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 $16.85! new only from $16.85!
3	Lagrimas Negras (2004) more music like this by Bebo & Cigala 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 $7.87! new only from $7.87!
4	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 $2.95! new only from $6.58!
5	Distinto Diferente (1999) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars 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 $6.00! new only from $6.00!
6	A Night at Club Baobab (2006) more music like this by Orchestra Baobab see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
7	Ay, Candela (2005) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer Ay Candela is the most interesting and compelling kind of compilation recording. Not merely a hastily packaged rehash meant to cash in on a vital artist's current reputation: It is, in essence, a history of the singer and his time, his pattern of travel through Cuba's street fairs, small-time recording studios, night clubs, and finally to the ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.85!
8	Songo (1988) more music like this by Los Van Van Taking their name from their famous hybrid rhythm, meaning a cross between Cuba's native son music and the go-go of the 1970s, Songo is the record that started it all. Los Van Van quickly gained an international reputation, having already long been their native Cuba's favorite dance band. The music, which brilliantly synthesizes the syncopated ... see all copies from $9.96! new only from $9.96!
9	Putumayo Presents: French Caribbean (2003) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $13.62! new only from $13.62!
10	Patato & Totico (1967) more music like this by Patato & Totico The landmark recording Patato & Totico belongs neither entirely to rhumberos nor to jazzers. The musical style will feel very familiar to those familiar with Cuba's rhumba tradition, which springs from the ritual songs of Yorubans and their descendants who found themselves sold into servitude to Cuba's sugar and tobacco plantations. The ensemble ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
11 view cover	Hanapepe Dream (2003) more music like this by Taj Mahal & the Hula Blues 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 $15.98! new only from $15.98!

14 view cover	Cuba: I Am Time (1997) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $37.44! new only from $37.44!

16 view cover	Leyendas de La Fania, Vol. 1 (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
17 view cover	Pirate's Choice: The Legendary 1982 Session (1982) more music like this by Orchestre Baobab 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 $12.65! new only from $20.52!
18 view cover	Hecho en Cuba, Vol. 2 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
19 view cover	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 $17.22! new only from $17.39!
20 view cover	Live in America (2003) more music like this by Los Van Van It's an auspicious pleasure to be present for the long-awaited U.S. debut performance of Cuba's favorite dance band, thanks to this CD for the AJ label, Live in America. The energy in the room and the fire of the performance are palpable and jump out through the speakers. With the inclusion of crowd favorites like "Que le Den Candela," ... see all copies from $4.27! new only from $4.27!
21 view cover	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 ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
22 view cover	Frequent Flyer: Havana (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.63! new only from $17.56!
23 view cover	Bamba (1994) more music like this by Orchestra Baobab The opening "Mouhamadou Bamba" is simply astounding -- the way the feathery introductory guitar trills by Barthelemy Attisso and the ragged-but-melt-in-your-ear harmonies supporting Thione Seck's heart-wrenching vocal lead that drop you into Charles N'Diaye's reggae lope bassline pushing up is simply glorious. And when those "bamba, bamba" backing ... see all copies from $17.09! new only from $17.70!
24 view cover	Putumayo Presents: Afro-Latino (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Far from a typical salsa release, Putumayo Presents: Afro Latino is an intriguing compilation that examines the relationship between African music and Afro-Cuban music in the 1990s. African rhythms were instrumental in the development of son, cha cha, mambo, guaguanco, and other Cuban styles that came to be called salsa, and things really became ... see all copies from $6.43!
25 view cover	Live in Japan (2004) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
