Calle 13

Cuban jazz legend Bebo Valdés is in charge of this wonderful soundtrack for Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal's animated film about the romance between a singer and a pianist, set in La Havana and New York of the '40s and '50s. In addition to Valdés, the main performers include Freddy Cole, Jimmy Heath, Idania Valdés, Germán Velasco, and Amadito Valdés, in a collection of both originals and jazz and bolero standards arranged by Michael Philip Mossman. Estrella Morente sings the main title song, "Lily."

2008 live release from two Jazz legends: pianist Bebo Valdes and bassist Javier Colina. Recorded at the Village Vanguard in New York, this set finds the pair playing a fusion of Latin, Caribbean and American Jazz, which has, over the years, become the unique sound of Cuban Jazz. Apart from self-penned Valdes tunes, the pair also tackle Bill Evans' 'Waltz For Debby', amongst other covers, adding their own indelible stamp to the proceedings. From America to Cuba and back again, Live At The Vanguard takes you to places as only authentic Jazz music can.

This landmark set superbly documents the wide ranging talents of one of Cuba's greatest artists—expatriate pianist/composer/arranger Bebo Valdés—in the company of an impressive cast of New York's finest Latin jazz instrumentalists. The first disc, Suite Cubana, features the pianist, father of the more famous Chucho Valdés, leading an all-star big band through a collection of original compositions that revisit the classic sound of the golden age of Cuban music in a variety of infectious rhythms (mambo, bembé, son, guaracha, guajira, montuno, batanga, and comparsa) laid down by Valdés, Edgardo Miranda, John Benitez, Dafnis Prieto, Milton Cardona, Joe Gonzalez, and Rickard Valdés.
The melodies are memorable and the arrangements smooth and sophisticated.

A limited edition of the Camaron de la Isla 'Integral' box-set. It represents a veritable journey through his life and singing. It includes 21 original albums. The first 17 of them were made in recording studios by Camaron from 1969 to 1992 while he was alive. "The album is similar to the previous one, perhaps a bit less acoustic, with Paco de Lucia and Tomatito on guitars, the productions of Pachon and the musical direction of Paco".

Influenciada por el flamenco tradicional de Pastora Pavón en los 40, Mi Cante y un Poema es el álbum debut de la vocalista española Estrella Morente. Producido por su padre, el legendario cantante Enrique Morente, el lanzamiento de 2001, parte del cual se grabó en una cueva en su oriunda Granada, incluye colaboraciones de los estimados músicos latinos Pepe Habichuela, Manolo Sanlúcar y Alfredo Lagos
