Dimension Latina album
 $5.59   
After an exploration away from the mainstream of salsa that would last nearly ten years, beginning with the release of 1984's Buscando América, Rubén Blades fans who missed the coro-shouting, compana-banging fun of his Fania years will rejoice in Caminando. Though a contemporary release, with plenty of contemporary influence, Blades' playlist on this record is much more salsa than fusion. From the rollicking, joyful title cut, to the slinky, trombone-driven Colón-esque "Prohibido Olvidar," the Rubén Blades made famous in the dancehalls is back, if but for a short time. The production on Caminando is unique to other Blades productions. The treatment of his voice has a hollow, retro quality that is curious and yet charming. The band, comprised mostly of his recent Seis del Solar cohorts, Ralph Irizarry, Robby Ameen, Oscar Hernandez, Eddy Montalvo, and others, sounds warm and classic. Perhaps it is ...

Dimension Latina album
$12.65
It's hard not to love salsa -- after all, it's the perfect party music -- and this album has 14 excellent slabs of it, with the proceeds going to a good cause, Amnesty International. There's no attempt to be cutting edge, simply to present some of the best contemporary artists in the genre, whether it's African-born Ricardo Lemvo, Colombia's Grupo Caneo or New York's Spanish Harlem Orchestra. It's fitting that the last is there, since New York was the cradle of salsa; it's very much a big city style, even if it grew ...

Dimension Latina CD music
$12.95
If one thought that the big band flavor of salsa music was dead, GUASABARA is one album that refutes that theory. With a full band assembled in Puerto Rico, tracks like "Mambo Valentin" cross generational lines, bringing an old-school ...

Dimension Latina music CDs
$13.55
Back with a relatively rapid follow-up to his debut, Charanga Cakewalk (actually Michael Ramos) takes a different tack. Bringing in a number of different vocalists (Lila Downs, Patty Griffin and Ruben Ramos), he goes for a much more rootsy feel in the music, one that's more about songs than instrumentals this time around. ...

$19.69 | | Ethnic Heritage Ensemble Hot 'N' Heavy: Live At The Ascension Loft CD (2007)
Dimension Latina album
$12.89
Kahil El'Zabar's longstanding Ethnic Heritage Ensemble return with a live gig recorded at Ascension Loft (El'Zabar's performance space) in 2006. El'Zabar is a rhythm master who realized the power of the groove long ago and his ability to set up mesmerizing rhythms is on full display here. Guitarist Fareed Haque plays mostly a rhythm role (note there is no bass player), leaving the bulk of the soloing to Corey Wilkes and Ernest Dawkins. Even so, his playing is always interesting as he moves between chordal comping and single-string lines, hitting harmonics and playing behind the nut at one point and even playing some prepared guitar. The band gets some other crazy sounds (for a live jazz gig), especially on "There Is a Place" with Wilkes' cool processed trumpet solo. He also utilizes some kind of wah effect on "Major to Minor." Ernest Dawkins also takes some excellent solos, bringing some real fire to "Hot 'n' Heavy" and "Black as Vera Cruz." El'Zabar shows his versatility, moving from congas to kalimba (the beautiful "MT," for Malachi Thompson) to the drum kit. His rhythms are organic ...
