Here's mine:
1. Joao Gilberto, Cayetano Veloso & Gilberto Gil, "Brasil", Philips 6328 382, on Dutch Vinyl. Wheew, this will blow you away! One of the finest vocal recordings I've ever heard! Stumbled on this one when I was in Akihibara, Japan. Top notch sound and performance!
2. Cal Tjader, Gozame! Pero Ya... Nice sonics and solid performance. Cut number 3 on Side 2, "Will You Still Be Mine?" makes me get up and play air-conga everytime!
3. I second Marakanetz on Rhythmsticks, Flora Purim just shines on this CD. The late Bob Berg also puts on a show stopper!
4. Poncho Sanchez, "La Familia" on Concord Picante. What can I say, Poncho is the Conga King! Fantabulous dynamics!
5. Clementine, "Continental Bleu" on Orange Blue CD. Her traversals of "Easy Living" and Michael Franks' "Don't Be Blue" will leave you drooling with orgasmic delight! He-he! And wait till you hear "Outra Vez"...!
