The physical albums will continue to be sold through Putumayo’s network of thousands of non-traditional retailers and record stores. This Latin Beat re-release version features 3 new tracks.

... On Latin Beat, the label explores funky new blends of Latin music, in which electronic beats, hip-hop flavors, DJ remixes and cutting-edge grooves are fused effortlessly with Colombian cumbia, Cuban son, Mexican banda, Spanish flamenco, Afro-Peruvian roots music and more. Contemporary Cuban bands Moneda Dura and Edesio add the voices of Cuban legends Ibrahim Ferrer (of Buena Vista Social Club fame) and Adriano Rodriguez to a catchy breakbeat sound. Colombians Jontre and Mariposa Solar demonstrate how effortlessly groundbreaking Latin musicians are using traditional rhythms in a contemporary pop context. Spain's Digitano takes Gypsy flamenco instrumentation and layers on electronic effects.
