Alla, "Es Tiempo" (Crammed Discs) - Whether you'd prefer thinking about them as the Latino
Stereolab or the second coming
of Tropicalia, this Chicago-based trio makes psychedelic
groove sounds that go well with mojitos and meditation. Lupe Martinez's vocals are
mysteriously seductive.
Cabas, "Amores Dificiles" (EMI) - Feels like a statement album, dedicated, of course, to this
Colombian pop rocker's lady love. Fito Paez-ish ballads with minimalist instrumentation -- a
departure from previous cumbia-rock ambitions. "Bonita" is the bittersweet hit single and "He
Pecado" features Enrique Bunbury and Orishas.

Natalia Clavier, "Nectar" (ESL Music) -- Talented young Argentinean chanteuse who sang for
Federico Aubele gets full-length backing of Thievery Corporation breakbeats. Slippery tango
here, Morcheebalike dub there. As sweet as the title suggests.
Cineplexx, "Picnic" (Portia Records) -- Buenos Aires transplant based in Barcelona floats
through his hybrid art rock world with the help of indie rock titans Jad Fair and Norman Blake
of Teenage Fan Club. The result sounds like a graphic artist intoxicated with Belle and
Sebastian. Perfect for that surreal Sunday in the park.
Charlie Cruz, "Dinamico" (Sony Norte) -- Guess what, salsa romantica isn't dead yet, and
that's a good thing! Such songs as "Corazoncito" push Cruz's scatting to lofty heights as it
pushes you across the dance floor. Time for a midsummer Caribbean vacation
Rebio Diaz, "El Lugar Lugar del Lugar" (Spanic Attack) -- Diaz's discordant take on
Caribbean-to-New York migration embellishes minimalist prog rock with nueva trova.
Looking glass lyrics
Attack cohort Monxo Lopez's jangly guitarwork, Diaz's earnest vocals bring it all back home.

Grupo Fantasma, "Sonidos Gold" (Aire Sol Records) -- This 11-piece orchestra from Austin,
Texas, combines cumbia, funk and salsa. Its cover of Los Van Van's "Bacalao con Pan" is
more 70s than the actual 70s. It's not often a Southwest band swings with this authenticity
and precision. Guest appearances by Larry Harlow and Maceo Parker make them an eclectic
delight
Gilberto Gil, "Banda Larga Cordel" (Warner Music Latina) -- Brazil's rocking minister of culture
offers some of his most beautiful songs ever. Longtime collaborator Liminha helps Gil keep
that pan-Afro-beat edge. From the languid R&B of "Olho Magico" to the quiet bossa ballad
"Amor de Carnaval" Gil reminds us of the simple complexity of the tropical experience.
The Pinker Tones, "Wild Animals" (Nacional) -- These Barcelona synth-rockers have found a
