Latin Party
Varios artistas

This recent Putumayo compilation runs the gamut of dance music-from funk to cumbia and salsa to hip-hop-in a joyful blend of sounds that will have everyone on the dance floor. Latin Party features artists like A. B. Quintanilla III (Selena's brother), New York band Yerba Buena, Peruvian salsa singer Cecilia Noël and Orquesta Lo Nuestro from Colombia.

Aleks Syntek

Syntek himself once said that in each album, he tries to offer some instant gratification, as evidenced by the name of this CD.

"Mujer animal," a duet with Rubén Blades, one of Latin music's greatest performers, is unusual and interesting.
