Swiss DJ Daniel Niedermann from Zürich is responsible for the selection of this sampler. With the right touch, he collected 12 salsa pearls and published them. There are titles by Calambuco, Son de Tikizia, Calle Real, LA 33, La Sucursal, Bio Ritmo, Manteca and many others. The selection is very versatile. The different tempi make this sampler arractive to friends of salsa dura, timba or classical salsa. Don't miss out on this:

If "Peru" only reminds you of Machu Picchu and panpipes, then you will get a whole new impression today. The following two Urban Latin CDs impressively combine tradition and modernity, and the mix of different sounds make them 100% suitable for the dancefloor. Here are two translated comments of the "notes"-magazine:
Novalima: Coba Coba
The music of the Peruvian black minority with new pride on the dancefloor - a surprisingly organic and danceable complete work of art between the rhythms of the bluesy Landó and the graceful Marinera on the traditional side, and Dub, Broken Beat, Salsa and HipHop from the club corner.
Novalima: Coba Coba
Chicha Libre: Sonido Amazonico
A surprising Latin cocktail from Brooklyn, NYC - stirred and shaken from Peruvian Chicha-musik from the 1970s, full of surf guitars, psychedelic Moog/ Farfisa sounds and hot Cumbia-versions of Satie and Ravel.

Havana or "La Habana" without music is unthinkable. This sampler presents partly unknown but popular tracks, which charecterise the streets of the vibrating city of Havana. Do you feel in the mood for a musical journey? Listen to this:
Callejón Habana: The Essence Of Cuban Street Music
Salsa and Timba of top class Cuban musicians: Tirso Duarte (Pupy y los que Son Son, NG La Banda, Charanga Habanera), Alexander Acosta (Elio Revé, Charanga Forever y Chispa y los cómplices) and Evelio Jaz (Havana Power Band).
Havana Salsa Team: Encontrando La Fórmula
Soneros del Gallo is a new Cuban combo, which is dedicated to Salsa Dura. Great musicians and powerful arrangements. This CD is 100% dancefloor material with a high musical quality - a combination not always found. Definitely worth listening to:
Soneros del Gallo: Gallos De Pelea

The Argentinian singer Pablo Banchero lost his heart to tango in the late 1980s. Back then, he wanted to sing tangos, meanwhile most other teenagers preferred jazz and rock. Today, many years later, he recorded his first CD at the age of 42. The newspaper "La Nacion" calls him a new "icon of tango" (the complete, very interesting, article can be read under "reviews").
The CD presents 14 unreleased tangos written by the singer and composer Pablo Banchero, who also learned his craft from Virgilio Expósito (author of "Naranjo en flor").
You can listen to the audio samples:

Of course, most people own more DVDs than videos nowadays. But still: Why should you mothball your video recorder already? Videos still do exist, even if the technique is a bit outdated now.

"Otros Aires" are: Miguel di Genova (guitar and voice), Omar Massa (bandoneón), Diego Ramos (piano) and Manu Mayol(drums and percussion). For quite a while now, they've been amongst the most popular representatives of electrotango. This CD is a live-album, recorded in Buenos Aires and Europa.
