Eighteen sizzling Latin grooves with the power to put some spice back into your life. The tracks collected here were recorded between 1954 and 1972, and range from classic mambo and Latin-jazz to funk and salsa.
This collection contains only the hottest tracks from such major Latin artists as Willie Bobo, Mongo Santamaria, Cal Tjader, Machito, Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, and others. There are also a number of obscure and less-obvious selections, including songs by Ocho, Kako & His Orchestra, and the ever-funky Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers, making it a well rounded and totally enjoyable introduction to this diverse genre.
The songs are ordered effectively, with each track adding a little more heat to the overall vibe. While Latin music can sometimes start to sound a bit repetitive after a while, this disc brims with such high-octane grooves that it’s bound to grab you by the hips and set you moving. A perfect choice for keeping your house guests happily on their feet and off your nice white sofa. Auy, yuy, yuy!!!
