"Today I offer you all a short but sweet mix of Latin treats from all over the western hemisphere; from the Bay Area of California to El Salvador to Uruguay! At times funky, psychedelic and soulful, this collection of tracks starts off heavy, but soon mellows out until finally culminating in one of my favorite songs of all time: Cofradia‘s rare “Tu Carino”!"

This mix was made by the now defunct blog Musica Del Alma, and is surely one of my favorites. I just wanted to share. Listed below is the track list and the original post. If you are the owner of Musica Del Alma and would like to claim this mix for your own Soundcloud, please send me a message.
