Carmen Cavallaro —
With That Latin Beat ... LP 
Decca, 1959. Very Good+ ... $6.99
The frenzied piano of Carmen Cavallaro gets a nice does of Latin rhythms on this set – and the set's a great example of the way that cocktail piano and Latin were strongly linked in the New York scene of the 50s! Carmen's style here is certainly different than that of Joe Loco, Noro Morales, ... (Now Sound, Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Willie Colon —
Big Break/Fania/Craft, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 28.99

Willie Colon —
Crime Pays (180 gram pressing) ... LP Fania/Craft, 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $26.99 28.99
Classic work from Willie Colon – the "payoff" of his youthful hoodlum routine, and a hard-hitting batch of salsa tunes pulled from earlier records – all in a package that defines his groove of the 70s! Hector LaVoe's on vocals with Willie's group – and he's also ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Willie Colon —
El Juicio (180 gram pressing) ... LP Fania/Craft, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 28.99
Supposedly the end of Willie Colon's early "crime" career – as the title and cover imply that he's finally been brought to trial! Don't worry about Willie being beaten down, though, because the music on the album is every bit as fierce and powerful as ever – and features a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Eddie Palmieri —
Wisdom/EP/Ropeadope, 2017. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The genius of Eddie Palmieri never seems to dim at all as the years go on – and, if anything, the genius only seems to flower even more – finding new ways of expression that maybe even blow away some of Eddie's classic work from the 60s and 70s! This set is amazing – a ... read more CD

Ricardo Ray & Bobby Cruz —
El Bestial Sonido ... LP Vaya, 1971. Very Good+ ... $43.99
One of the real standouts in the career of Ricardo Ray and Bobby Cruz – a record of incredible tightness, and one that set a whole new level for Puerto Rican salsa in the 70s! There's still a few traces here of the Latin Soul years – sometimes in the rhythms, at other times in the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pete Rodriguez —
El Conde ... LP Fania, 1974. Very Good+ ... $14.99
The classic first album as a solo act from Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez – not the boogaloo artist with the same first and last name, but the singer who'd rose to fame on a series of classic albums with Johnny Pacheco! The style here is rich and soulful – a return to tradition in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mexican pressing.)
Sonora Matancera/Seeco, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A Latin Battle Of The Bands – as Cortijo's combo and Sonora Matancera go head to head! The album alternates between tracks by each of the groups – so that there's 6 of each, and the listener comes out the winner! (Of course, a real "duelo" would feature one band in the left ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cal Tjader —
Night At The Blackhawk ... LP Fantasy, 1958. Very Good ... $16.99

Soul Of Spanish Harlem – Beautiful Soul Music From The Heart Of New York's Spanish Harlem ... LP Fania/BGP (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy 2LP ... $22.99 26.99
One of the hippest sets we've ever seen on Spanish Harlem – a collection that goes way past the Latin Soul hits, to dig deep in the uptown underground at the end of the 60s! The package is compiled with gems from the Fania catalog, but rally moves past the obvious – going for some of ... (Funky Compilations, Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
