By now you've known us long enough to know our tastes run much wider than just hip hop. Todays post is one such change of pace. What I have here today is a head-noddin' collection of latin funk from the late 60's to 2003. No, this ain't your fathers favorite Carlos Montoya lp. Like jazz and hip hop, funk is informed by many styles. Cultural influences in funk music are numerous and distinct. The latin take is no different. I love all sorts of latin music, from peruvian flutes, to classic flamenco guitar to the earth shaking james of Carlos Santana. If you're a sucker for that south-of-the-border flavor then check this out. My favorite tracks are probably numbers 3,11 and 14.
Here's a link and the tracklist --

This last tune is something I cut from a live show The Herbaliser did in New York City in 2000 I think. If anyone out there knows the lp they were playing I'd really like to know! Enjoy.

There's a copy of it on there and it should be great quality. Don't forget they got a password, though. It's in their comments.
