RGS (Argentina), 1973. New Copy ... $13.99 16.99
Argentine rock, recorded in Paris during the early 70s – a really unusual expatriate album that comes off with a sound that's pretty unique! Miguel Abuelo clearly draws inspiration from the heavier rock that was showing up in South America at the time – yet the overall execution of the ... (Rock, Latin) read more CD

Flying Dutchman/BGP (UK), 1975. New Copy ... $8.99 14.99
Lost Latin funk from the Bay Area scene of the 70s – and an album that may well blow away better-known work by groups like Malo, Azteca, or El Chicano! The album's near-perfect right from the start – and brings in plenty of New York elements to the groove, thanks to the inclusion of a ... read more CD
United Artists/Palladium, Mid 60s. Used ... $16.99
During the mid 60s, Ray cut some killer Latin sides for the United Artists label – most of which are darn hard to find on vinyl, but many of which are collected here on this tasty 19 track set!

Tico, Mid 60s/1974. Used ... $11.99
Nice album that brings together a lot of Ray's great sides for Tico from the mid 60s – short and tight, with lots of firey grooves and storming percussion from Ray. Includes the original "El Watusi", which is surprisingly tough to find, plus "Ritmo Sabroso", "El ... read more CD

Pawal/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1961. Used ... $9.99 14.99
Fantastic rhythms from percussionist Rubens Bassini – a set that has all the raw live energy of a Latin jazz jam session, but which also carries some of the sweet touches of the bossa nova scene in Brazil – a really wonderful mixing of modes that makes the album a gem all the way ...

Recent genius from the true king of Latin Soul – the mighty Joe Bataan, sounding every bit as great now as he did back in the day!

Rhino/Avenue, 1973. Used ... $3.99
An interesting historical document, and a pretty decent live set – in the same soul mixed-bag style as the Wattstax live albums.

PMG (Austria), 1980. New Copy ... $4.99 16.99
Brilliant brown-eyed soul from Ray Camacho – an artist who was previously known for more border-styled work with his Teardrops band, but who steps out here with a surprisingly great blend of electric jazz and boogie! The approach is wonderful – a real re-direction of Ray's earlier ... read more CD
