Summary: Makes everyone happy
Comment: Even at a luncheon at work... got compliments from the most interesting places for this happy, danceable music
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Exercise - DANCE - Puts me in a good mood
Comment: I LOVE this CD. I play it about every day, especially when I am working in the kitchen, cooking & cleaning or doing housework. It has a dance beat that you can't help but start shaking your hips. It is great exercise to dance to it. I can feel stomache muscles that I have not felt in years. Maybe it will help me to lose weight? I also bought a beginners Salsa DVD I like to dance to. My husband and kids join in to dancing around the house, too. If I am feeling bad, this music peps me up. Highly recommend.

Summary: A musical history passport
Comment: It's a shame that the strong, native culture of African slaves was broken, beaten, dissolved, dissoluted when they arrived in the US. This is a CD that works both in and out of the classroom. The music is amazing, and it makes you want to take an historical tour.

Customer Rating:

There's plenty of food for thought in Putumayo's delicious new Afro-Latin Party. Like the previous Putumayo compilations Afro-Latino and From Congo to Cuba, the 10 tracks here document the fascinating musical marriage between Africa and Cuba that has seen the original African rhythms brought to Cuba by slaves evolve and migrate back east across the ocean to influence a new generation of African music (and in the process produce offspring everywhere from Croatia to Portland, Oregon). But that almost implies that the disc is of interest to musicologists only, when quite the opposite is true. Afro-Latin Party is anchored by three tracks from Africando, the Cuban supergroup that records with different African lead singers, and their seamless blend of African and Carribbean spices nicely sets the tone for the disc. With Pepe and the Bottle Blondes' wry take on classic cha-cha, "Cuentame Que Te Paso" (featuring a former lead singer for Pink Martini) rubbing shoulders with classic-style salsa from Croatia's Cubismo ("Morenita") and Puerto Rico's Jose Mangual Jr. (the white-hot "Ritmo Con Ache"), the disc is an excellent primer on the global reach of salsa music, but more importantly one that sounds best blasting out of speakers that aren't too far from the dance floor. --Ezra Gale
