Although Salsa has its roots in Cuba, its universal spread and appeal is unparalleled, and its music and artists, timeless. This selection draws from a wealth of catalogues including the renowned Fania label – the largest single catalogue of salsa music in the world. Add to this, the greatest exponents of tango music from the early 20th century through to present day and a fabulous selection of flamenco/rumba catalana – both of which command worldwide appeal – and you have a fascinating introduction to a music genre united around a common theme – the desire to dance!

Total 3CD running time: 2 hours 57 mins

Each CD includes an extensive introduction and informative note on each of the 45 tracks featured.

Compilation and sleevenotes: John Armstrong

CD2 presents the ever-popular tango in its many forms from the original exponents from the 20s/30s through to present day.
