Putumayo scores again with this dishy collection of Latin dances played by first class bands from around the world. Every track is full of style, romance, and energy. Play it all.

1. Deliciously jazzy w/hot horns and a sophisticated style.
2. Wonderful medley of cha cha chas for horns/guitars/vox. Yay!
3. The Perez Prado classic mambo updated & fresh. So good.
4. Warm and relaxed w/gorgeous vocals from a Scottish band.
5. Relaxed goodness from a Bay Area band w/a solid jazz vibe.
6. Sexy mambo “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White” So good.
7. Slow piano into delicious Cuban late night slow dance. Kiss me.
8. Fun and bright midtempo flute & vocals. Delicious & playful.
9. Quirky midtempo wiggle w/ska influences. Happiness!
10. Acoustic guitar leads into a delicious sway by a Russian band.
