Then there are at least to solo albums I recomend, one by Omara Portuondo and one by Ibrahim Ferrer. Now they've come out with a live version which is supposed to be great. By the way, if you like this type of music try the latest from Susana Baca, a peruvian singer. She is fantastic and the sound is A+.
