Comment:

For all its dazzling range of styles and genres, Latin music has common qualities the whole world can understand, no translation required. Every track here connects directly to the passion and freedom of spirit within all of us, and this must-have playlist of [i]Latin 101[/i] Essentials makes for one sure-fire international party-starter — African rhythms, European melodies, and Amerindian instrumentation all have contributed to Latin music’s richness and complexity. What unites these diverse sounds can be found in the heart and the soul, whether it’s the incendiary acoustic guitar work of Rodrigo y Gabriela, the timeless tango of Carlos Gardel, or the dance-floor dynamite of J-Lo. Sample these classic tracks, discover emotions you never knew existed, and surrender to Latin music’s warm embrace.
