Lebron Brothers —
La Ley ... CD Cotique, 1980. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Later work from the Lebron Brothers – a sweet album of salsa tracks that show that they were still going strong years after their first Latin Soul sides! There's a nice stripped-down feel here that recalls those classic recordings – and although the album's 70s in style, it's got a ... read more CD

Frank Owens —
Oliver! Ole! ... LP Columbia, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Insanely wonderful Latin soul album recorded by Frank Owens that has the surprising (and goofy) bonus of being a Latiny rendition of the hit musical Oliver! Don't be put off by that cockney musical aspect of the source material, though – because the sound here is great New York Latin Soul, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole, a name in pen, and some aging on the back.)
Ranil Y Su Conjunto Tropical —
Ranil Y Su Conjunto Tropical (with bonus download) ... LP Analog Africa (Germany), Late 70s. New Copy ... $29.99 31.99
Mindblowing Amazonian cumbia from Ranil – music created way up in the mountain territory of Iquitos – with a lean vibe that maybe speaks of the isolation of the artist and his group! The tracks are mostly instrumental, and have a fair bit of electric guitar in the lead over rootsy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lebron Brothers —
Llegamos/Cotique, 1971. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Soaring salsa from the mighty Lebron Brothers – a group who first burst on the Latin scene with a strong run of Latin Soul recordings, but who are taking a more straightforward approach here! Yet that change hardly makes any difference, as the Lebrons still have that bold, youthful energy ... read more CD
(Out of print original Cotique pressing.)
Salsa Fever Orchestra —
Salsa Fever Orchestra ... CD Combo, Late 70s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
70s salsa, but with a bit of a nod to the clubs – sort of the same mode the Fania All-Stars were hitting on their Columbia albums of the latter part of the decade, but a bit looser overall! From the cover, you might expect there to be a few Latin Hustle elements on the set – but the ... read more CD

Chuy Reyes —
Rhumbas – Arthur Murray Favorites ... LP Capitol, Late 50s. Very Good ... $4.99
Although this one was issued as part of the cheesy Arthur Murray dance series on Capitol, it's actually got a great set of rhumba tracks played by Chuy Reys and his orchestra. The overall sound is nothing fancy, but the instrumentation is quite tight, and the whole album's a strong no-nonsense ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Rainbow label pressing.)
Rafael Cortijo & Ismael Rivera —
Con Todos Los Hierros ... CD Tico, Late 60s. Used ... $29.99
"Everything But The Kitchen Sink" – or so says the title of this groover! But who needs the kitchen sink, when you've got the great vocals of Ismael Rivera, backed by the lively band of Cortijo? Rivera and Cortijo are always a good combination – and this album's one of their ... read more CD
(Out of print "white back" pressing.)
Nico Gomez & His Orchestra —
Bossa Nova ... CD Omega/Pregador Do Som (Germany), 1972. New Copy ... $10.99 16.99
Way way more than just bossa nova – a mighty groover from the great Nico Gomez! Nico's known for his harder pounding tracks that have become favorites with the funky crowd, but this stellar album shows that Nico could also work in jazzier territory when he wanted to – as the album's a ... read more CD
Joe Torres —
Latino Con Soul ... CD Pacific Jazz, 1966. Used ... $19.99
A heck of a great Latin Soul album – one of the best of the 60s, and pretty darn rare as well! The set's the only one we've ever seen from leader Joe Torres – and it's an incredible blend of soul jazz and Latin rhythms that was one of the few west coast sessions of its type! Normally, ... read more CD

Manny Corchado —
Swing While You Can – Aprovecha El Tiempo ... LP Decca/Everland (Austria), 1967. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
A tasty Latin number from the 60s – recorded as one of a small handful of excellent Latin sides cut by Decca during the Latin Soul era! The record's kind of split down the middle, with half tracks that are in a straight Latin vein, and half tracks that are in a feisty boogaloo style. The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ghetto Brothers —
Power/Salsa International/Everland (Austria), 1972. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
A legendary record from one of the most unique Latin groups of their time! In an early 70s world where many Latin combos were going for class and poise, the Ghetto Brothers moved in another direction entirely – working here with a fair bit of electric guitar alongside more familiar Latin ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ibrahim Ferrer —
Buenos Hermanos ... CD World Circuit/Nonesuch, 2003. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The second album recorded by Cuban vocal legend Ibrahim Ferrer in the wake of the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon – and maybe the best! Ferrer's vocals are superb throughout – and the production is relatively stripped down, and never too intrusive – even when producer Ry ... read more CD

Ibrahim Ferrer —
Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer ... CD World Circuit/Nonesuch, 1999. Used ... $3.99
One of the few good things to come out of the cultural pillage of the Buena Vista Social Club was the reintroduction of soulful Cuban singer Ibrahim Ferrer to American audiences. Ferrer's voice is extremely wonderful, so much so that even cloying production by Ry Cooder can't keep it down. The ... read more CD

Diggin The Crates For Afro Cuban Funk ... CD Empire, 1950s/1960s/1970s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A wild selection of hard-hitting Cuban rarities – pulled from a host of Cuban labels that have kept out of the US during the past 40 years! Although the title says "Afro-Cuban Funk", the grooves here are much more varied – some funky, but also jazzy, percussive, and crackling ... read more CD

Lost Sessions – New York 1976 ... CD BGP (UK), 1976. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
Joe Bataan working in a pronounced dancefloor soul mode!

Soul Of Spanish Harlem – Beautiful Soul Music From The Heart Of New York's Spanish Harlem ... CD Fania/BGP (UK), Late 60s/Early 70s. New Copy ... $11.99 18.99
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 CD

Pilon (with bonus download) ... LP Chulo, 2013. New Copy ... $13.99
A contemporary Latin combo, but one with a really unique feel as well – a mix of 60s charanga modes, 50s Cuban roots, and some definite modern phrasing!

Luis Gasca (For Those Who Chant) ... LP Blue Thumb, 1971. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
One of the greatest solo albums ever issued by Latin jazz trumpeter Luis Gasca – a set that really expands on his debut for Atlantic Records, and which brings in a whole host of early 70s west coast Latin influences!
