Latin: The Essential Album;Over 30 Massive Hits From Latin Music's

Indeed 'essential' for lovers of Latin music or Salsa. A great CD.

A great mixed compilation of latin tunes to get you in the mood for summer and dancing

Very enjoyable

Excellent introduction to Latin music.

CD1 opens with Pete Roderiguez' tight Latin soul mover 'I like it like that' and closes with the now infamous Mambo No. 5 in its original trumpet-piano beauty. Whilst not everyone will know it by name the popular Latin classic 'Oya Coma Va' (Santana's version) opens CD2. Whilst under the heading Latin this superb compilation manages to include everything from Latin samba to 1990's Latin house, the later of which concludes CD2 in the quite masterful 'Guallando' by Fulanito with its heavy basslines and incredible accordion sound. The songs in-between are hardly fillers either with an emphasis placed on big names and popular tunes (such as the Cuban 'Guantanamera'), as well as the odd rare gem. This is the perfect introduction to anyone looking to take their first steps into Latin music. It's diversity and inclusion of 90's Latin inspired dance numbers make this a worthy purchase for those already familiar with that Latin sound.

Got this as background music for a " Taco About A Baby " shower. It was perfect!

ラテン音楽の探求からエスカレートしてCDを買い漁ってきましたが、このCDはサルサの曲が殆どで、チャチャチャが少々、サンバ・ルンバは１曲程度。サルサマニア以外の人にはお薦め出来ません。サンタナがチャチャチャの曲で何とか踏ん張っている？

The music selection and the sound

ok

great music
