Top Picks: A Musical Tour of Cuba

Of all the places I've visited, I crave going back to Cuba the way a chocoholic craves a Snickers bar. I want to feel that tropical breeze in my face while eating pulled pork and drinking a mojito. And most of all, I want to hear the music that seems to permeate the island.

Ah well, it doesn't look like its going to happen in the near future. But looking at the bright side, there's no one to stop the music! So, in honor of the island that has had such a tremendous impact on Latin music, here is a top 10 pick list of Cuban music and artists that offers a little son, a little mambo, a little jazz and lots of salsa! Sit back, close your eyes and you're there.
