It's back to hard-core salsa for me now, building on the artists I have produced over recent years. So from the Colombian salsa dura of Jean Paul Tamayo to the Afro-Cuban bagpipes of Wilber Calver, the soulsa power of AQuilla and the heavy duty MC Magico .. this is not to be missed!

Mali Latino (2010)

My latest journey which encompasses the mandé traditions from Mali with
Afro-Cuban heritage ... co-produced by master kora player Madou Sidiki
Diabaté and multi-instrumentalist Ahmed Fofana

Salsa con Soul (2008)
The second chapter in my salsa journey across the world, this CD brings collaborations with gospel producers and soul writers to produce a steamy combination. Add into the mix a healthy dashing of salsa dura tracks all combined to make up an album that just bursts through with the energy of all my musicians combined.



	Inglaterra (2007) Hard-hitting salsa grooves, soul vocals and steamy salsa arrangements can only describe this latest album of mine. The CD also pushes the salsa boundaries with a Bhangra-Salsa track ‘Oh Kuri’ recorded in Southall and featuring young singer Shahid Abbas Khan. Regular salsa dancers will recognize the hits ‘Show Me’ and ‘Ain’t Nobody’ and young rapper MC Magico features on a reggaeton-salsa ‘Subelo’. "Alex Wilson spices up his latin floor-fillers with R&B beats" The Guardian ****
	Aventuras (2004) Prepare to be taken on a series of adventures around the Americas and the Caribbean - this album fuses improvised jazz with the folkloric musics of Colombia, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and, of course, Cuba - all driven by yours truly at the piano. ".. full of the driving grooves and gentle ballads with which Wilson helped inspire Britain’s great love affair with Cuban jazz." Roger Trapp - INDEPENDENT CD OF THE WEEK
	R&B Latino (2001) The new sound of R&B hitting the charts at the turn of the century was the most musically exciting thing I’d heard in the mainstream for a long time - I decided to take the music and bring it back to roots with dicings of Cuban trumpet plus the heavy percussion section sound I love. Special guest Jocelyn Brown appeared on the guajira-R&B track and Craig David’s musical director, Frank Tontoh co-produced the album, giving it that extra kick ... "Wilson looks way behind latin-jazz cliches for an exciting way forward" The Guardian
	Anglo-Cubano (1999) Havana, Cuba was my destination - and my mission to fuse the heat of Cuba with my London sound. To this end, three of us travelled to the island, picked up eight of the best musicians in Havana and went in to the legendary EGREM studios to lay down latin jazz and salsa tracks. Getting Mayito Rivera from ‘Los Van Van’ to sing the title track was a major coup as was the inclusion of Clave y Guaguancó - one of the top Cuban rumba groups. “Irresistibly danceable, a joyous, wild album” The Times
	Afro-Saxon (1998) The head of Candid Records walked up to me and offered me a record deal ... a dream come true ! At the time I was touring the world playing reggae, jazz, funk, Latin and African music - this is a document of where I was .... "...an exhilerating blend of postbop forms, Latin-American and African music that performs the rare trick of capturing the vibrancy of the original sources without sounding like musical package tourism" The Guardian ****
