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!
