Swing ... LP 
Tropical, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $48.99
Obscure album from the early 60's featuring a band under the direction of Rey Roig, with some vocals by Pete "Conde" Rodriguez.

Latino Blue – Blue Note Jazz con Sabor Latino ... CD 
Blue Note, 1950s/1960s. Used ... $7.99
Cheesy name – but a great set!

Hell Of An Act To Follow ... LP Columbia, 1978. Very Good+ ... $16.99
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!

Eydie Gorme & The Trio Los Panchos —
Navidad Means Christmas ... LP Columbia, 1966. Sealed ... $19.99
Lovely Holiday vocals from Eydie Gorme – but a set that's quite different than her more familiar Christmas music with Steve Lawrence!

A cool little compilation that's as groovy as you might guess from the title – and one that finally brings to light the lesser-known genre of chica – an odd fusion of cumbia rhythms with more psychedelic-styled instrumentation on farfisa, organ, and guitar! The core grooves remind us a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tango – Zero Hour ... CD American Clave/IRS, 1986. Used ... $2.99
