Bamboleo - "Te Gusto O Te Caigo Bien "

Another offering from the great new band. The new Cuban salsa is here! You can't go wrong with these guys, especially if you like to dance.

Orquesta Aragon - "Cuban Originals"

Beautifully re-mastered from original recordings made in the 1940's & 50's. Cuban dance music at it's best.

If you still haven't discovered Albita, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

Albita - "Si Se Da La Siembra"

I'm glad that I don't have to figure out which of these two albums I like better.

Stan Kenton - "Cuban Fire"

A musical experiment gone good! This is not Cuban music, but I challenge anyone to say it's not as passionate!
