The grande dame of Buena Vista Social Club fame, Omara Portuondo brings a buoyant and sophisticated touch to the classic flute and strings charanga orchestra of bygone 1950s Cuba on 'El Madrugador', a guajira cha-cha-cha about the beautiful Cuban countryside. Latin Giants Of Jazz feature an all-star line-up from members of the former Tito Puente Orchestra and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra and on 'Miedo Al Cha Cha Chá' they revisit a seminal recording from the classic NYC Latin big-band era of the 1940s and 1950s.
Steeped in spicy and infectious rhythms, The Rough Guide To Salsa Dance is an innovative package including an instructional DVD alongside the talents of artists such as salsa dura mavericks Bio Ritmo and La Excelencia and the phenomenal pianist Alex Wilson on the music CD.
