A vinyl selection of Cuban influenced tunes from the African diaspora in the 1960's to 80's...

Echoes of Charanga, Pachanga, Guaguanco, Mambo, Rumba & much more... The radiance of Cuban music throughout Africa and the Caribbean left an incredible mosaic of sounds that still resonates today. This is a combo of some of my favorite tunes to dance to !

Put your headphones on and get sweaty...
