Many people who love Salsa are recent converts. They may not have been exposed to prior recordings that contain some of Salsa's best music.
Folks constantly ask for suggestion of music to buy.
A novice collector should begin with several compilation CDs. This provides the listener with exposure to many styles, voices, and variations in instrumentation. One can decide what artists and styles most appeal to him or her. The second step is to include specific album titles that have been best sellers. Some of the best sellers are older issues that have been re-released on compact disc.
