Cuban/Latino Jazz music

[Starscream]

From watching Dexter and playing GTA: Vice City (Espantoso radio), I've really gotten into the Cuban style/jazz music. Any reccomendations for something in that genre?

Buena Vista Social Club. Great album!

Ray Barretto's Rican/Struction has been a fun listen lately.

Funny how my memory deceives me! I love some Desi Arnaz songs (partly why I started this thread). He's old skool, looking for something a little newer. Plenty of good suggestions in that link. Thanks for the link, Sean!

Where do you rank in the banter thread?

[Mr. Ed]

Some new stuff eh??? (well from the 60's, but new to this thread)

I posted this in another jazz thread (), but I'll post it here as well.

Jazz Samba featuring Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd

Getz /Gilberto featuring Stan Getz and the famous The Girl from Ipanema.

With the exception of Gloria Estefan, that list will work

As a new Jazz listener myself (the owner of the "other" thread l l) I must say that there are some amazing suggestions here. I'm currently enjoying Spanish Harlem Orchestra.

Great beat, great rhythm, great vocals

Don't knock Gloria, hombre!
I'm not talking about her Pop Top 40 Miami Sound Machine stuff, I mean her solo work, like "Mi Tierra" & "Oye Mi Canto" albums, which includes some damm good Latin/Cuban tunes. Check out some samplers, you'll see (hear?) what I mean.

I'll try it out. All I know are her Pop music songs.
