Synopsis

Album Description

Supa Latino is an irresistible summer party album! A double CD mix, it is a party mix of great originals (Tito Puente - Oye Como Va and Jorge Ben - Ma Que Nada) sensational covers (Edmundo Ros - Light My Fire and Ronaldo's Revenge - Mas Que Mancada) and much more! The set also contains appearances by Perry Como ('Papa Loves Mambo' from Oceans Eleven), Stevie Wonder (the outrageously funky 'Fingertips') and Quincy Jones ('Soul Bossa Nova' from Austin Powers); big name artists you may not expect to find on a Latin album! However, contemporary Latin stalwarts are also in abundance with Sergio Mendes, Gilberto Gil and Elis Regina making contributions - plus a few old hands (Rosemary Clooney sampled by Shaft & James Last) are in there to round out this essential summer mix. Supa Latino is the best of traditional Latino jazz, Mambo and Latin house that will bring a smile to even the most discerning ear. Play it and see!

CD Reviews

Classic Latin tracks

J Lee Harshbarger | Ypsilanti, MI United States | 11/23/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Take a trip back in time with this CD. I particularly recognize "Viva Tirado" by El Chicano -- I bought that Top 40 45 rpm record in 1970, not to mention "Soul Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones, which I first heard as a sample in a song on an alternative compilation back in 1991 (the song was "My Definition" by Dream Warriors) and heard again in the Austin Powers movie. Other songs also sound like they come from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. This is probably a great compilation if you like music from that era. With tracks from Tito Puente, James Brown, Sergio Mendes & the Brasil '66, and Jorge Ben, you get a sampling of classic Latin tracks. Since I'm not a big fan of the music, I can't judge how good a compilation of such music that it is, but certainly I would think it's a good place to start if this is what you're looking for."
