A Discography
Most Miami music stores carry CDs by contemporary Cuban bands. (If there's no section for Cuba, see "Latin," "tropical," or "salsa"). But shopping locally for the latest sounds from the island can still be hit-or-miss; stores usually stock only a few copies of each disc, and what's on hand often isn't the newest or most representative of each band. Check the selection at a few different places. Or try mail order -- Descarga (800-377-2647), a Latin music catalogue operation based in Brooklyn, offers the most thorough catalogue of Cuban music, past and present.
