1. Cuba

Varios: 50 Aniversario del Triunfo de la Revolucion (2 CD)

50 years after the victory of the Cuban Revolution, on the first of Januaray 1959, this compilation of rare songs is a musical chronicle that tries to reflect the feelings of the majority of the Cuban people who fought for their rights. This is a sound document with an emotional charge and dose of sarcastic humor that will leave no one indifferent:

Varios: Por los Campos de Cuba - 25 Guajiras Inmortales

In this collection we can hear the voices and groups led by the best performers playing twenty-five of these immortal guajiras that reflect the experiences of the guajiros and the landscape of the Cuban countryside. Amongst the artists are Guillermo Portabales, the Trio Matamoros, Celina & Reutilio and the Duo Los Compadres.

2. Urban Latin from the Andes

If "Peru" only reminds you of Machu Picchu and panpipes, then you will get a whole new impression today. The following two 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.

Chicha Libre: Sonido Amazonico

A surpising Latin cocktail from Brooklyn, NYC - stirred and shaken from Peruvian Chicha-musik from the 1970s, full of surf guitars, psychadelic Moog/ Farfisa sounds and hot Cumbia-versions of Satie and Ravel.

We wish you sunny Easter days!
