Ruben Gonzalez - Siboney

One of my all-time favorite Cuban artists...

Los Van Van - Sandunguera

Live in Miami...

Orquesta de La Luz - Salsa No Tiene Frontera

A sight to behold... an all-Japanese salsa band.

Papaito - Caramelo A Kilo

A classic. This one's for Ignacio Perrotini, who lent me a Papaito tape and got me hooked on Afro-Cuban music forever...

El Gran Combo - Telefono

Moving from Colombia to Puerto Rico now, here's a band sometimes called La Universidad de la Salsa...

Joe Arroyo - Te Quiero Mas

Still in Colombia, one of my favorite artists... This one reminds me of Pablo Zamora, whom I knew in Bielefeld.

La 33 - Pantera Mambo

Starting the Latin segment now... here's La 33 from Colombia messing around with the Pink Panther theme... This one's for Juan Camilo Cardenas.

Coldplay - Clocks

This is the salsa version, so I can transition to a Latin segment... more Coldplay here

Keane - Everybody's Changing

Hard to believe they don't use guitars... more Keane here
