Up until now I haven’t done much with this part of my site, even though I really like Latin music a lot. That’s why I decided to post this old set of compilations that I made a couple of years ago for some friends of mine. They wanted to throw in a Latin party but after a while they realised that they only had 2 cd’s to play which would become rather boring and embarrasing as the evening would unfold. That’s why I quickly made them a compilation. It's a three piece set and this is numero uno.
I still like these cd’s even though I couldn't find all the right tracks in their best outfit. The Bacalao con Pan from Irakere for instance is of a poor quality but I don’t have another version. I should find me one.
