Delicious Cuban music characterized by lots of good brass, hot percussion, and cool vocals. You can’t go wrong with any track. It’s not subtle, but it sure is fun. I like this one. Pour out some rum and dance in the moonlight.

1. An upbeat, shimmery salsa.
2. Nicely energetic dance for horns/perc/chorus.
3. Uptempo son w/good male vocals.
4. Big horns, a sexy son.
5. Relaxed salsa w/ a flamenco brass sound.
6. Son for chorus, horns, percussion.
7. Upbeat merengue w/big brass & sweet chorus.
8. Sexy, relaxed bolero w/a romantic sound.
9. Another relaxed, romantic bolero. Good perc.
10. Catchy, happy salsa. Fun.
11. Percussive son with nice brass/vocals.
12. Lots of brass/perc/vocals, like a party. Yay!
