Mag/Vampi Soul (Spain), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 33.99
The cover image here will give you a great idea of the vibe of the record – as Melochita was a comedian as well as a Latin musician, and brings a great sense of playful wit to the album! A number of cuts feature vocals that have this really odd, almost cartoony style that's totally great ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mag/Vampi Soul (Spain), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 30.99
A really cool record, and one that uses the Cuban tres in a style that's nicely different than more traditional modes – often blending it with some of the hipper small combo Latin elements that had popped up on the New York scene in the mid 60s, which gives the instrument a very different ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Classic stuff by Noro – and a wonderful selection of hard to find material from the 50s!

Beautiful spare sounds from Noro Morales – and an album that really lets you hear his amazing work on the piano!

RCA, 1956. Very Good+ ... $24.99 29.99
Great stuff by Noro – featuring his haunting piano lines spun out over spare backing by percussion only, in a manner that you don't always find on his other recordings. A few tracks have larger orchestrations, but they're still pretty darn tight, and have a great hard sound to them. The set' ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nitty Gritty Sextet ... LP Rocafort (Spain), Late 60s. New Copy ... $24.99 28.99
A killer set of Latin Soul from the New York scene of the late 60s – a record that's every bit as wonderful as boogaloo classics on labels like Fania and Cotique, but which never got released at the time!

Pacheco —
Mi Nuevo Tumbao – Canonazo ... LP Fania, 1964. Near Mint- ... $34.99
The first album on Fania Records – and a massive album that showcases Pacheco's new style – a shift from his earlier charanga grooves to a more solidly percussive style, with lots of timbales and trumpet! The album's a key turning point in 60s New York Latin – and still crackles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Coco, 1975. Near Mint- ... $24.99 29.99
A fantastic 70s session from Charlie Palmieri – featuring some of his best keyboard solos of the decade, and some very cool work on organ that almost makes us think Sun Ra is in the group! The style is quite unusual, even for Charlie – with a weird sound from his organ that really ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Capitol/Intuition, 1989. Very Good+ ... $14.99
An excellent session – very much in the mode of Eddie's groundbreaking work from the early 70s, when he was mixing together some incredibly complicated piano lines with newer styles of Latin jazz. The album's about half vocal, half instrumental – with a very strong jazz component that's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes a promo bio, with a small ink stamp and paperclipped. Cover has a center split in the spine and some flaking and wrinkles at the bottom right corner.)
Verve, 1951. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Charlie Parker in a Latin mode – one of those ideas that shouldn't work that well, but does – and went on to influence a whole generation in jazz! Parker's alto and Latin rhythms are an amazing combination – rhythms that move even more frenetically than regular bop modes – ... (Jazz, Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A wonderfully hard-to-categorize album from the start of the 80s – a Mexican record that mixes folkloric roots with electronic instrumentation – but all in a way that sounds much more ancient than you'd expect for the time! The fusion of modes here is wonderful – almost at a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Discomoda/Munster (Spain), 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $27.99 29.99
A record that's every bit as groovy as its cover – the rare self-titled set from Venezuelan 60s combo The Pets – a group who serve up lots of cool cuts with a swinging 60s vibe!

RCA, 1961. Near Mint- ... $6.99 9.99

RCA, 1955. Very Good+ ... $13.99

A great set of obscure salsa from New York, recorded for the tiny Solo label, and featuring a very tight band with Luis Santos on conga, Arturo Santos on timbales, and vocals by Juan Lanfranco and Pedro Lombillo.

Principe Y Su Sexteto —
Salsa De Guaguanco ... LP DCM/Vampi Soul (Spain), 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 33.99
A really cool blend of familiar Latin rhythms and South American electric guitar – use of the instrument that's more typically associated with genres in Peruo and other scenes on the west of the continent – but used here in a very cool set from the late 60s Venezuelan scene! The music ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Prestige, 1968. Very Good+ ... $79.99

Tito Puente —
Bossa Nova By Puente ... LP 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 ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s Spanish Palladium pressing.)
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 ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Concord, 1987. Near Mint- ... $14.99
The cover's a bit goofy, but the record's one of those great back to basics Latin jazz sides that Tito Puente cut in the 80s – with a group that has Tito on vibes, plus the great Sonny Bravo on piano, Bobby Rodriguez on bass, Jose Maderas on congas, and Mario Rivara on a variety of saxes and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bobby Quesada —
La Mafia Del Guaguanco ... LP Mary Lou, Late 1960s. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Bobby Quesada's definitely earning his nickname of "the hard one" here – not just for his tough mafia look on the cover of the record, but also for the lively grooves underneath! The record's got a rougher and more ragged edge than some of Bobby's contemporaries – bold ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Chulo/Daptone, 2023. New Copy ... $23.99 24.99
A contemporary record, but one that hearkens back to the glory days of the Latin diva albums of the 50s and 60s – wonderfully expressive vocals from Maria Raquel, a singer who makes her debut here, yet somehow feels as if she's been making music for many many years! The arrangements are a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Alegre, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $44.99
A very wild album from Ricardo Ray – sort of a mix of Latin soul styles in the mode of work by Mongo Santamaria, but a lot more messed up! The album's got a number of 60s soul covers – but they're done here by Ricardo in kind of a party Latin mode, touched with a bit of garage soul ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing – a great copy! Label has a small bit of pen, and cover has a small cutout hole – but this is a great copy overall.)
Alegre, 1966. Very Good+ ... $59.99
One of the first albums ever from Ricardo Ray – a really sharp-edged set that's quite different than any of his later work with Bobby Cruz!

(Original stereo pressing! Cover has some light wear and a cutout hole – vinyl is great.)
Fonseca, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $59.99
Smoking early work from the team of Ricardo Ray and Bobby Cruz – the kind of record that marked the pair as one of the freshest new voices to hit Latin music in the New York scene of the 60s!

Amazing early work from Ricardo Ray – material that's got a lot more fire than some of his better-known sides from the 70s!

A fantastic little album of Latin Soul – a perfect example of why Pete was known as the "King Of The Boogaloo" during the 60s!

Live At The Palladium ... LP United Artists, 1960. Very Good- ... $9.99
Wonderfully jazzy work from Tito Rodriguez – and further proof that his live albums are often some of the best he ever recorded!

RCA, 1955. Very Good ... $14.99
A great little record – a heck of a lot nicer than Tito's work in the 50s, with a much more hard driving mambo sound, touched by a bit of jazz. The style here's not dissimilar to Tito Puente's work at the time – and titles include "Ay No No No", "A Little Bit Of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Columbia, 1965. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
A really pivotal album in the career of Mongo Santamaria – one that has Mongo stripping down the groove, kicking up some jazz, and mixing together soulful styles that brought him to the top of the Latin crowd of the 1960s!
