I just bought Anga's new album entitled "Echu Mingua".
This is one of the best CD's I've bought in a while.
Anga calls this album a union of Cuban, African, and DJ cultures. I can't stop playing this disc.

I've also been listening to the following discs:

Samuel Torres: Skin Tones

Eddie Palmieri: Listen Here

Chembo: Portraits in Rhythm

Omara Portuondo: Flor de Amor

Zarbang: Persian and Middle Eastern Percussion

Tony martinez -maferefun and la habana vive
how about this- papo vasquez live at the point disc one and two, if you love latin jazz this is a MUST HEAR

Oye abakua, when did azucar negra live in habana come out? I'd love to get ahold of a copy of that! Andar andando HAS to be one of the best produced and recorded timba albums of all time. My favorite timba band by far.

Other than that too much pop and rock in espanol (keeps us working here in Houston!)

I've got that one, pretty cool. If you want to hear some good changui and other jams from the eastern part of the island check out Ban Rarra. Super cool stuff.

While I was in Venezuela I came across some Fania All Stars CD's that I have not seen here in the US so I bought 2 and I have been listening to those. In memory of Ray Barretto I have been listening to him about every day.

WHICH CD'S ARE THOSE JONGO?

Hey Brothers,

Like MCO I have been listening to Echu Mingua by Anga, its awsome and really grows on you.
Cant wait to see for the man himself doing his Echu Mingua project in London in April, its in a much bigger place than in Sydney, Abakua and Pidoca you are very fortunate to have got some time with him.
