Whether the song is smooth and peaceful or smoking hot and spicy, the fun tunes, exciting rhythms, and grooves will make you stand up and dance. It will transport you from a dance club playing Afro-Cuban music to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. In addition to the original songs on this recording, there are two original Latin arrangements of classical repertoire. Debussy's solo piano piece "Golliwogg's Cakewalk" and Gershwin's orchestral work "Rhapsody in Blue" are presented in a new light which will excite the listener when the themes and harmonies are heard in a contemporary Latin fashion.
