Vamanos pal hilo Rolling Afro-Latin Music 2016: Salsa, Bomba, Merengue,Reggaeton, Bachata, Latin-Jazz and more

I still think Rescatarme is the strongest track on Ilevitable. Would like to hear her sing more songs with this sort of vocal intensity. I wouldn't miss it if she left out the retro choral part. The recital at the beginning is from poetry by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.

The whole album is probably a lot "artier" (for better or worse) if you understand Spanish. There is also the song about turning into a bug, with mention of Kafka.

The NPR jazz critics poll also asks voters to list fave Latin jazz albums if they'd like. Here is what they voted for:
