these cats practically invented the afro cuban music if not they did invent it,

im sorry you feel that way, j/k, its all good, but if you experince music from brasil, you would understand

dont get me wrong cap i dig those cats too i like brazilian music i have alot of that serg stuff to but herb albert was the dude who busted him out,
but i feel you they got some good music too,
but listen to these cats i mentioned and the feelin you get from there rhtyms you cant help but get in to it, wether it be dancing or bangin along with the conga or shake your ass man these cats bring the soul.

he's right about those Cuban artists check them out peoples

no doubt, that's also the point, the brazilian incarnation is funkier than the originators

The idea of diggin usin trial and error is to hear a WIDE range of music and learn whats likely to have a break on compared to what may not, as well as building an initiative when choosin records.. that requires buying duds as well.. even the best diggers still get duds, u still get records with real dope covers, dope instruments listed on back, u wont know the peeps on it but it'll seem like a definate to havin dope breaks until u get it home to find theres none... its just the way it goes

Xandre mentioned some real good shit, One of my fav latin breaks is a Joe Cuba break
