Various - Latin Beats: A Tribute To Tito Puente

This compilation takes you to the heart of the latin vibe with tracks such as Sabu Martinez's Afrotemple, masterclass in percussion Hotel Alyssa Soussie, Tito's psychedelic-tinged masterpiece Watu Wasuri and Nu Yorican Soul's modern Latin classic 'Nervous Track'

An album of this calibre would not be complete without the charismatic godfather of the modern salsa beat, Beny More who closes the show with Babarabatiri. You'll know this - the brilliant track featured on the Guinness ad (with the racing snails).

This really is rare, heavyweight dancefloor latin material - if you bought this lot separately you'd be broke for a long time
