Latin Party In New Orleans CD (2001)
 $14.09 
Highly recommended for fans of Latin dance music. With an exciting set list of cumbias, merengues, salsas, and even a good old-fashioned cha cha, the album is a non-stop Latin groove fiesta, ranging from classics like "Cielito Lindo" and "El Manisero (The Peanut Vendor)" to a handful of Omar originals. But for his second album, 2001's scorching Latin Party! In New Orleans, Omar and his band go strictly Latin, with marvelous results. Honduran-born bandleader Fredy Omar understands the confusion of those unfamiliar with the distinction between "Louisiana music" and "New Orleans music," and even helps the newbies out a bit at times by incorporating zydeco elements into his songs. Although the zydeco and Cajun music of rural Louisiana is what first comes to mind (somewhat mistakenly) for most outsiders when they think of New Orleans music, the true sound of the city has always had an enormous dollop of Latin influences.

Los Hombres Calientes Vol. 2 CD (1999)
Fredy Omar CD discography
$11.29
Hombres Calientes, Vol. The record, a 71-minute, 18-cut musical treatise, features a much larger complement of vocalists and percussionists, and even a string quartet on three selections. Louisiana Philharmonic String Quartet: Amy THiaville, Rachael Jordan (violin); Bruce Owen (viola); Kaaren Makas (cello).
On their second effort, Los Hombres Calientes exchange bassists (David Pulphus for Edwin Livingston), and Ronald Markham shows up on Hammond B-3 and keyboards. The Yoruban chants on the trio of tunes near the end of the recording are most convincing -- "Alabi Oyo E," "Suite Obatala," and "Vamos a la Cima," all composed by percussionist Bill Summers, burst with emotional discourse. 2 also draws from a larger palette of Latin rhythms.
