Latin Percussion With Soul ... LP Tico, 1968. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An obscure little album from Jack "Mr Bongo" Constanzo – his only entry into the Latin Soul genre, and a really nice batch of grooves!

Celia Cruz & Tito Puente —
Algo Especial Para Recordar ... LP Tico, 1972. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An early 70s session from Celia Cruz & Tito Puente – but one that's recorded with much rootsier touches than you might guess from the date! The album's kind of a precursor to Celia's further rise in the 70s salsa scene in New York – and offers up a nice reworking of older themes ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Alma Con Alma – The Heart & Soul Of Celia Cruz & Tito Puente (180 gram pressing) ... LP Tico/Craft, 1970. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock

We Must Be Doing Something Right/Tico, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock

Tico/Craft, Mid 1960s. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 29.99 On May 10, 2024
Great Joe Cuba set from the mid 60's. This one was recorded slightly before Joe hit it big with his Latin soul hit "Bang Bang", and the sound's a mix of Latin jazz and tracks that have more of a Latin soul sound. The lineup includes the classic sextet, and tracks include "Oye ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Joe Cuba Sextet —
My Man Speedy ... LP Tico, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Killer grooves from the legendary Joe Cuba – maybe one of his greatest albums of the 60s, and one of those sets where he took his small combo sound and moved it into a great Latin Soul groove! The playing is great, with the same sort of boogaloo vibe that Joe had with the Bang Bang album ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tico, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $19.99 29.99
Joe Loco was one of the most amazing early Latin piano talents, and in an album like this, you can really hear him go to work in a savage way! On this set, Joe moves all over the keys in a number of different ways – from heavy left-handed stride playing, to light and lovely jazz soloing, to ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Black label pressing, with deep groove. Vinyl has a short click on the first track. Cover has clear tape on all seams, light surface wear & aging, name in marker on the back.)
Tico, 1956. Near Mint- ... $29.99
Seemed like Joe was always in a mambo mood at the time he was making these sides for Tico – but that's A-OK with us, as the record's a corker – tight little grooves in Joe's best percussion/piano format! A few tracks even have some vibes, which makes for a nice sound – and titles ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Noro Morales —
Como Esta ... LP Tico, Mid 60s. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
A very cool record from Noro – one with a heck of a lot of weird influences! Some tracks on the set are straight Latin – done in a style that recalls some of Machito's work from the early 60s – but there's a few others that have an electric guitar in the mix, some slightly ...

No Blues Noro ... LP Tico, 1959. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Latin pianist Noro Morales leads his quintet in this nice moody album of instrumentals, played in a mellow jazzy vein, with a spare sound, and lots of percussion/piano interplay.

(Black label stereo pressing, with deep groove! Cover has some light splitting on the top seam, which also has a bit of tape – and some light wear.)

Tico/Fania, 1967. Used ... $29.99
An incredible collaboration between pianist Eddie Palmieri and vibist Cal Tajder – a record done for Tico in answer to their previous session for Verve – and a set that's even harder-jamming overall! Cal and Eddie really find something special together on the record – and both ... (Latin) read more CD
(2007 remastered edition.)
Roulette, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A surprisingly groovy record! Although bossa nova isn't normally Tito's bag, he does a great job here moving into the format – picking up the pace of his usual group with some snapping beats that create a bit of a bossa flourish, even though the overall sound's still firmly in the New York ...

Tito Puente —
Carnaval En Harlem ... LP Tico, 1966. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Darn nice record by Tito – and one with a soulful 60s feel, hinted at by the "en Harlem" in the title. The record's not really a Latin soul album, but it's got certain groovy 60s elements that are done very very nicely. Includes great Latin versions of "Downtown" and ...

Tico/Craft, 1963. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 28.99
Great 60s material from Tito Puente – one of those key Tico sides that have him really changing his sound up for the decade, and working with a slightly leaner vibe than his RCA recordings a few years before! Tito's not in boogaloo mode here, but he's definitely got an ear towards some of ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Tito Puente —
Para Los Rumberos (180 gram pressing) ... LP Tico/Craft, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A heavy groover from Tito Puente – recorded in a back to basics style, but with a hard percussive edge! The sound here has plenty of jazzy touches – almost in the mode of Tito's funky big band records of the mid 70s, but with less of the funk or the large group touches – almost a ...

Ismael Rivera Con Kako —
Lo Ultimo En La Avenida (180 gram pressing) ... LP Tico/Craft, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A great meeting of talents in the studio – as Ismael Rivera sings lead vocals for Kako's smoking combo, complete with congas by Patato Valdez! The sound here is a great – rootsy and highly percussive on the bottom, yet smooth on the top thanks to Ismael's vocals – sung here in a ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tito Rodriguez —
Senor Tito Rodriguez ... LP Tico, 1958. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An excellent little set from Tito – recorded in the late 50s for Tico, with a groove that's harder than much of his 60s work for United Artists! The lineup includes some nice jazzy vibes work on a few tracks – and the album includes the great percussive track "Suena Tu Bongo (Beat ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tico, 1963. Very Good+ ... $11.99
Miguelito Valdes is reunited with his old boss, Machito, in an LP of tightly orchestrated "Afro-boleros", as the liner notes call them.

A massive batch of boogaloo gems – all wrapped up in one mighty package!
