1	Rumba Flamenco [Putumayo] (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Inevitably, any style of world music will have its hardcore purists as well as those who are open to experimentation. Spanish flamenco is no different; decades after the term nuevo flamenco was first used to describe a non-traditional approach to flamenco, purists continue to rail against crossover artists who are fusing flamenco with rock, Latin ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $13.37!
2	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!
3	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!
4	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 ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $10.35!
5	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 $3.98! new only from $17.94!
6	Fenix (1971) more music like this by Gato Barbieri Some artists totally change directions; some reinvent their personalities. It is hard to know exactly what to make of the case of this Argentinian tenor saxophonist, who first appeared as a sideman on several extremely important Don Cherry projects, making such an essential contribution to the overall feel of these records that listeners expected ... see all copies from $8.08! new only from $13.86!
7	The Original Latin Dance King (2002) more music like this by Xavier Cugat Xavier Cugat had a recording career that stretched over many more years than are covered on this collection. But this single-disc, 26-song anthology of sides from the 1940s and 1950s has to be considered the best collection of his work. This was Cugat's prime, and the tracks boast better fidelity than those he made prior to 1940, if one considers ... see all copies from $9.47! new only from $10.66!
8	Musica Original de Cuba (2006) more music like this by Frank Emilio Flynn Frank Emilio Flynn is one of the most revered and cherished musicians in the history of Cuban music. His career lasted more than six decades. He was present during every major shift in Cuban music in the 20th century. He died at the age of 80 in 2001. Danzas y Danzones Cubanos was recorded in 1959 for the Sonotone label. The label, run by Manuel ... see all copies from $8.29! new only from $11.48!
9	Bolero Jazz [Bonus Tracks] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.23! new only from $11.92!
10	The Very Best of Beny Moré, Vol. 1 (2004) more music like this by Beny Moré see all copies from $7.29! new only from $9.53!
11 view cover	The Greatest Songs Ever: Cuba [2006] (2006) more music like this by Various Artists With the great amount of talented artists that have come from Cuba, it's confusing why Australian-based Petrol Records decided to have so many repeats on their Greatest Songs Ever: Cuba. The most obvious answer is that there were licensing problems, but the fact that the other albums in this series (Greece, Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Ireland, and ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $19.35!
12 view cover	Bread, Love and Cha-Cha-Cha/Cugat Calvalcade (2001) more music like this by Xavier Cugat This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out-of-print Xavier Cugat LPs: Bread, Love and Cha-Cha-Cha and Cugat Calvalcade. Each of the 24 tracks has a continuity dominated by cha cha rhythms. While this material becomes formulaic, it's still a lot of fun and perfect background music for your next party. Highlights Include "Frenesi," "La ... see all copies from $10.31! new only from $11.66!
13 view cover	Cuban Originals (1999) more music like this by Beny Moré This volume of RCA's Cuban Originals series spotlights Beny Moré, and includes original recordings of classic songs like "Bonito y Sabroso," "La Culebra," "Rumberos de Ayer," "Mucho Corazon," "Oh Vida," and "Company Jose," all of which feature Moré's powerful voice and dynamic big band backing. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.48! new only from $9.90!
14 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 $13.71! new only from $13.71!
15 view cover	Cugat's Favorite Rumbas/Mambo at the Waldorf (2001) more music like this by Xavier Cugat This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out-of-print Xavier Cugat LP's: Cugat's Favorite Rumbas and Mambo at the Waldorf. Each of the 24 tracks has a continuity dominated by Cha Cha rhythms. While this material becomes formulaic, it's still a lot of fun and perfect background music for your next party. Highlights Include "Mambo Gordo," ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.66!
16 view cover	Golden Classics (1995) more music like this by Xavier Cugat & His Orchestra see all copies from $17.25! new only from $17.25!
17 view cover	Rumba Caliente 88/77 (1992) more music like this by Los Muñequitos de Matanzas A reissue of their very first recording effort, with the addition of three bonus tracks on the top of the disc, Rumba Caliente 88/77 is a beautifully remastered showcase of los Muñequitos at their inception. More clearly audible than ever before, the qualities that captured the imagination of their homeland and later the world audience are more ... see all copies from $18.07! new only from $18.07!
18 view cover	Congo Yambumba (1994) more music like this by Los Munequitos de Matanzas For 40 years Los Munequitos have maintained a balance of freshness and tradition in their approach to the rumba callejera, performing columbia, yambu and guaguanco with purity and verve -- no small feat, given that only one original member remains (though various kids of original members). Of the several Munequitos recordings avialable, this is ... see all copies from $14.26! new only from $14.26!
19 view cover	Gipsyole! (2003) more music like this by Los Ninos de Sara Los Niños de Sara aren't so much the babies of Sara, but of the band Alabina -- three of this group's members came from there. The billing, as Gipsy Kings meet Buena Vista Social Club, is a little less than fair, although there's plenty of rhumba on this disc and the guitars strum and flourish in the best flamenco tradition (and flamenco is a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.78!
20 view cover	Songs for the Poor Man (1990) more music like this by Remmy Ongala & Orchestre Super Matimila This Tanzanian take on soukous is as restrained as the Zairian form is hedonistic. Ongala's songs on social themes are delivered with winning conviction. Bob Tarte, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.75! new only from $16.31!
21 view cover	Momentos (2005) more music like this by Rubén González see all copies from $5.45! new only from $14.69!
22 view cover	Voces de Ultrarumba (2005) more music like this by Estopa see all copies from $17.99! new only from $19.19!
23 view cover	Rough Guide to the Cuban Music Story (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Fast on the heels of the turn-of-the-millennium Cuban music craze spawned by the Afro-Cuban All Stars and the Buena Vista Social Club's reappearance, Rough Guides released a book detailing the complexity and variety of the Cuban music scene, and an accompanying album. Admittedly, the album leaves out a huge amount of the variety present in Cuban ... see all copies from $7.85! new only from $13.16!
24 view cover	Hijas del Tomate (2002) more music like this by Las Ketchup One might think that, with both a band name and record title so whimsical, Las Ketchup's 2002 release, Hijas del Tomate, is not to be taken seriously. But after hitting number one in several of Billboard's Latin categories, and with a Latin Grammy nomination that year, critics and audiences alike began to reconsider this misleading impression. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
25 view cover	Cugat Cavalcade (1990) more music like this by Xavier Cugat The most significant thing about Cugat Cavalcade is the famous jacket photo of Xavier Cugat holding one of his chihuahuas. But it's also a treat to have a Columbia album recorded in stereo. Unfortunately, the album is really nothing more than another collection of old singles. The new stereo versions are not a significant departure from the ... see all copies from $2.88!
