A classic from the songbook of Rafael Hernandez receives an excellent Latin jazz interpretation from trumpeter Charlie Sepulveda. "Cachita" has rarely sounded better.

Capullito De Aleli
Enjoy a rousing (and jazzy) take on "Capullito de Aleli," a classic composed by Rafael Hernandez. Nat King Cole also recorded a lovely take on the song in his distinctive Spanish. Also worth a listen is Daniel Santos, legendary Puerto Rican vocalist.

Lamento Borincano
A classic in the Puerto Rican repertoire, Rafael Hernandez's "Lamento Borincano" captures the zeitgeist of its time and place in Puerto Rican history. For an especially 'African' rendition, I recommend Grupo Afro Boricua.
