Senoras y Senores - It's Latin Week!

Guybrush · 01-24-2011, 11:04 AM

The theme calendar only says latin, but not if it's going to be latin jazz or latin pop music or anything between and beyond. So, what I suggest is that we use this week to simply celebrate what we think of as latin flavoured music which we enjoy, whatever genre might better describe it.

.. Because then I can use that as an excuse to post this video of Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin playing Mediterranean Sundance, a song from Meola's 1977 solo album Elegant Gypsy

I wish I could play like that.

Gene Shaw playing some mellow jazz music with a groovy latin twist.

From one of my favorite records, Carnival Sketches.

Jose Padilla is something of a legend in Spain especially the Balearic scene. He was one of the original DJ'S at the legendary Cafe Del Mar club in Ibiza and is also a talented musician in his own right.

It is one of my ambitions to visit Cafe Del Mar: Café del Mar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I love this week.

I don't really understand the OP but:

This album is amazing. And played at pretty much every party my family had when I was a kid.

I`ve enjoyed all the clips so far: I thought this thread would be full of Buena Vista Social Club spin offs, but I should`ve guessed nothing so obvious would turn up here.

I wonder if anyone knows this song, very popular with angry Mexican teenagers because it`s very rude about the USA and addresses the controvertial subject of Mexicans working illegally in the US :

I don't know if it strictly qualifies as Latin, it's got a heavy tejano influence, but I've been diggin' on these guys a lot lately. Just trying to get in touch with my imaginary Texas roots:

I'll update my journal with some Latin House!

Nice! Molotov is one those bands I've always meant to check out but have never gotten around to. I'll definitely have to give them a listen now.

And speaking of Mexican bands, this thread is surely not complete without a little Cafe Tacuba:
