Mag/Vampi Soul (Spain), 1969. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 27.98
A killer Latin set from late 60s Peru – one of those mighty Latin cookers from the Mag Records label – a small imprint that never got much circulation up here in the states, but which was clearly tuned in to the best modes from New York!

Classic Latin, in the hands of Joe Claussell – served up here in a mighty mix that's heavy on roots, but also has an ear for the future as well!

Las Flores De La Vida ... CD Nonesuch, 2001. Used ... Just Sold Out!

A beautiful album by the famous Cuban guitarist and tres player Arsenio Rodriguez – one recorded during the late 60's, with a sound that's very different than a lot of the other older albums of his that are available!

Cesar 830 ... 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!

Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods ... CD Pablo/OJC, 1975. Used ... $5.99
A great Dizzy Gillespie Latin session recorded during the mid 70s – proof that he could still hold onto the cubop spirit of the old days!

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
Joe Cuba —
El Alma Del Barrio – The Soul Of Spanish Harlem ... CD Tico, 1964. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The Soul of Spanish Harlem – and the upbeat sound of the Joe Cuba Sextet – a hard-to-find album recorded just before the dawn of the classic Latin soul era!

Jose Piliche Elicier & La Nueva Explosion —
La Nueva Explosion ... CD Cotique, Late 60s. Used ... $14.99
A killer group with a very soulful feel! We know little about Jose and his hot little combo, but they groove in a way that takes all the nice downtempo chords of the Latin Soul years and mixes them with a harder percussive 70s salsa style! Jose "Piliche" Elicier leads the group and ... read more CD

Roberto Roena Y Su Apollo Sound 5 (remastered edition) ... CD International/Fania/Codigo, 1973. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The mighty Apollo Sound combo at the height of their powers – hard-hitting on percussion, but also sparkling with some jazzier touches on tenor sax, flute, and trombone!

Hector Lavoe —
Comedia (remastered edition) ... CD Fania, 1978. Used ... $11.99
