Lázaro Ros: Orisha Ayé
13 CD Set // Juego de 13 CD

..........Lázaro Ros, legendary Cuban Akpwón (singer of the Lucumí cantos) has just released a stunning suite of CDs, each of which are dedicated to a different orisha, or deity, of the Sanería religion. This is authentic material, and you will be hard-pressed to find finer recordings of this nature. If you are either practitioner or student of voice and batá drum-based material looking for the perfect audio reference, look no further...this is a gold-mine. Highly recommended

RAÍCES HABANERAS

David Oquendo & Raíces Habaneras

If you are a lover of Latin jazz and salsa, prepare to free all your energy with “Raíces Habaneras.” It is time for you to find out where all that Cuban percussion that settles in New York with Chano Pozo, passes through the bands of Machito, Dizzy Gillespie and Tito Puente, and reaches Santana, came from. Or to say it with rumba [slang]: to find out how the coconut of Latin music gets its milk.
