Fiesta Latina Vol.1 – Murder Riddims Records

Latin heat. Fiesta Latina Vol. 1 lines up six cuts in quick succession, pairing Don Omar’s “Dale Don Dale” with Frank La and Anthony, Grupo Manía, Hectory y Tito, Lil’ Jon and The East Side Boys’ “Get Low (Merengue Remix), ” and Vico C, so the whole thing leans into a clubby Latin crossover charge rather than a straight roots-dancehall set. It’s a short, compact run — six tracks, eight voices — and the sequencing keeps the tempo moving without any padding. The standout curiosity is that merengue turn on “Get Low, ” which pushes the project closer to party compilation territory than a standard riddim package. Murder Riddims Records issued it in 2004.
