"PUTUMAYO PRESENTS: LATIN PARTY"
(Putumayo, 2010)
-------------------------------------------
Contemporary Latin dance music from all across the Americas... This is newer stuff, mainly from the last decade (with one older track from 1995) and with a heavy tilt towards Colombia, with tracks from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Peru and elsewhere. It's slick, funky, fun modern stuff, and mostly from artists who are well off the radar up here in Los Estados Unidos... There's one track from Colombia's legendary bandleader Fruko Estrada, but other than that, these names will probably be new to most listeners. The music is slick, sensual and well-selected: this collection lives up to its name as a solid party album. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To World Music)"
