Panart, Early 60s. Very Good ... $9.99
Very heavy duty Afro-Cuban material, with a focus on carnaval grooves – played by 2 different groups: Carlos Barbeira's Banda Kubavana, and Alberto Zayas Grupo Afro-Cubano.

Fania, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
Killer stuff all around! This album's a monster – one of Ray's greatest, with the same sort of Latin Soul groove heard famously on his classic Acid LP. The record has Ray cutting across many genres – blending Latin, soul, jazz, and a slight bit of funk – all into a set of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Fania, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
"Head Sounds" is a heck of a great way to describe this album – as it's filled with some of Ray's most mind-expanding cuts!

CTI, 1981. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
A nice jammer from the "second wind" period of CTI – and a strong return to Latin jazz for Ray!

Fania, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
One of Ray Barretto's hardest-hitting salsa albums of the 70s – a raw set of grooves that's got Ray moving away from the playfulness of the Latin Soul years, into a more righteous mode that's easily guessed at from the title of the set! The vibe here is very straightforward – with Ray ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fania, 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
An early 70s killer from Ray – recorded right in the same era as most of his best albums!

And like the best of his 60s work, Ray's salsa cooks at a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Fania, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
A real turning point for Joe Bataan – and the beginning of his funky Latin sound of the 70s!

Ruben Blades —
Metiendo Mano (180 gram pressing) ... LP Fania, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 21.98
Willie Colon declares Ruben Blades as the champ on the cover of this early solo set – and for good reason too, as the album's one of Blades' best!

Willie Bobo —
Hell Of An Act To Follow ... LP Columbia, 1978. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Nice stuff from Willie – maybe not as hard and funky as his early 70s work, but very nice in kind of a Latin Club mode, thanks to some great production by Wayne Henderson!

(Cover has light wear.)
Verve, 1967. Very Good+ ... $14.99
Hard soulful Latin from the great Willie Bobo! The record's an extremely tasty blend of cuts that mix hard Latin grooving with a swinging 60s pop feel – all filtered through the crossover genius of late 60s Verve.

Sussex, Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
Incredible work by Willie Bobo – a slamming record of hard funky instrumentals, one that sounds different than any of his other albums!

El Zarape, Early 70s. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Mostly a Tex Mex batch of tracks – but an album that also features 2 decent Latin Soul numbers – both in English.

Dunhill, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
Stunning stuff – and one of the best-ever Latin soul albums of all time!

Promenade, Late 50s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Percussive exotic material, with lots of drums and chanting, in the style of work by Chaino, or some of Sabu's less jazz-oriented stuff.

Avco/Music On Vinyl (UK), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99

Audio Fidelity, 1957. Very Good ... $4.99
A tight set of solid percussion tracks – mostly just spare drumming, done in a very tribal sort of way!

Worthy, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
A Latin monster – and one of our favorite albums from the New York scene!

Fania (France), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $20.99 22.98

Fania, 1972. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Supposedly the end of Willie Colon's early "crime" career – as the title and cover imply that he's finally been brought to trial!

Fania, Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $9.99
Brilliant early work from a young Willie Colon – a true hustler if there ever was one!

The group's fifth album – in case you couldn't guess by the title – and a still-strong batch of west coast Latin grooves!
