Album Description2008 three CD set. Presenting over 50 years of Salsa, a musical style that is still evolving on the lively Latin and Dance scenes. Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Cortijo, Charlie Palmieri, Beny More and Joe Cuba are just a few of the all-time-great Latin stars here, plus a few obscure gems hitherto jealously guarded in aficionados' rare vinyl collections. Disc One features the finest names in Latin music from its advent in the 60s, including Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, and Charlie Palmieri. Disc Two follows its progression through the next decade, with new calypso-inspired Latin dance rhythms and styles. Disc Three presents a great selection of Latin rhythms played by one of Europe's leading Salsa and Latin dance bands, Ritmo Alegria. 45 tracks. Intro.
