CD Reviews Many people ask me where they can source good salsa music without the worry of buying the usual trash commonly available from high street stores and being supplied a copy CD.
WITHIN THE UK
There are two shops in London worth checking out and these are:-
Mr Bongos - 44 Poland Street
El Barrios - Goodge Street
Both have limited availability of stock and limited variety. CDs are 15.00 pounds each plus delivery.
ON-LINE
For shopping on the web try out CDNOW and AMAZON. Both US companies with a good all round range of salsa music, but you have to know what you are looking for.
TROPIMUSIC
The best place on the web for really good colombian salsa CDs is at tropimusic.com. They stock the full range of music from Disco Fuentes of Colombia so you can access up to the minute and back catalogue items. The site also has an online radio station from studio 5 Disco Fuentes, which plays their output continuously. Being Disco Fuentes agents, you can buy all the Sonora Carueseles releases as well as Joe Arroyo etc. The staff at tropimusic are very friendly and delivery is within 2 weeks. You will find most of what is being played in salsa clubs within the UK at this site.
Try these places out and I am sure that you will not be disappointed.
