Cafe Latino

I picked up an interesting CD in the Washington Gallery in Penarth. Cafe Latino on the German 'Brisa' label comes in a tin and has a selection of old Latin tracks, which sound to my inexpert ears as if they're from the 50s and 60s. Usefully for those of us with inexpert ears, each track is labelled with its genre, from son and guaracha to plena and pachanga (they've managed to mix up the genre categories on two tracks). Nice if you like old stuff - the merengue track, for example, is more mellow than the modern equivalent - and for those of us who are learning Spanish, the lyrics on a lot of the songs are clear and easy to follow.
