Afro-Cuban Jazz

Having recently stumbled onto Afro-Cuban Jazz, I was wondering if anybody could recommend a couple of artistf of this genre.

I'm am looking for older stuff - read available on vinyl.

Thanks
Paul

Unfortunately, I think that only his older stuff was pressed on vinyl. Newer is CD only...Latin Spirits is great [CD only]

Batacumbele: In Concert at University of Puerto Rico Francisco Aguabella: H20 These are a few of my absolute favorite afro-cuban jazz lps. I'm pretty sure that you can get the first three from someplace like vinyl.com. I think the Batacumbele lp is long out of print but is well worth finding - sabroso! The Francisco Aguabella lp was available from CuBop records but I don't know if it is still in print. Good luck!
