Latin Classics Vol. 1 is a carefully curated MP3 collection celebrating some of the most recognizable Latin dance recordings ever produced. Released by Casa Musica, this two-disc compilation brings together authentic Latin rhythms, timeless vocal performances, and orchestral arrangements perfectly suited for ballroom dancers and music enthusiasts alike.
The album covers four popular Latin dance disciplines—Samba, Cha Cha, Rumba, and Jive—with recordings from internationally respected artists including Caterina Valente, Tito Puente, Peggy Lee, Jose Feliciano, Edmundo Ros, Sarah Vaughan, Shirley Bassey, Louis Prima, and many others.
Unlike modern dance remixes, this collection preserves the character and musical richness of classic recordings while maintaining danceable tempos that work well for practice, social dancing, and teaching environments.
