Experimental/Alternative Salsa?

[camilocean]

Does anyone have any recommendations for experimental or alternative sound salsa music? I know that might describe Latin Jazz in a certain way but I looking more so for alternative/experimental Latin music that's still danceable and keeps the same "structure" of typical Salsa.

a lot could fit that description... e.g. most early timba

if you were asking about a more concretely "alternative" sound (akin to alternative rock vs rock), maybe something like this?

give the album a listen, there's less extreme stuff on there

or maybe this?

There's an album by a Spanish jazz group called Rabbit Rumba I love, it's heavy on the swirly organ - their version of caramelos is good

There is also Salah Ragheb's Latino in Cairo - Egyptian Jazz musician doing salsa and is one of my favourite tracks

Like Bio Ritmo or The Meridian Brothers?
