I think tt's really all about feeling the clave.

I'm curious as to why you're stipulating only electric, when so much latin/latin-jazz is done on upright. This seems like a pretty silly way of cutting your listening to "latin-lite."

What's your definition of "latin-lite"?

Cachao
Carlos Del Puerto
Louie Colon
Johnny Torres

Fania label

for electric: bobby valentin, carlos del puerto, juan formell
