Emily Loizeau, L'Autre Bout de Monde. You can get this CD from I Tunes. Always good to add a little French to the mix

hummm, very nice
well, some "bossa nova" would be nice:
Tom jobim - "Eu sei que vou te amar" or "wave"
and maybe some Pink Floyd - "wish you were here", or "the great gig in the sky"...
I did a poll in the CoffeeClub, in the community Coffee & Music. If you have time, take a look!
Best,
Paulo

Ok, ok, ok... I've made it through about 5 pages of this thread and barely seen any hip-hop!!! Or Spanish/Latin sounds!!! Nothiin' but some emo mess!!! The shout out to Sera Cahoone is Awesome! She's a pleasure to work with and an amazing artist!!! Now, as far as i'm concerned here's my current top ten that I've had playin' in the shop.
Gloria Estefan - Mi Tierra - I know, but it's the only worth while album she ever produced, none of the cross over crap! Strait-up latin musicians at their best!
Nas - Illmatic
Outkast - ATLiens
John Legend - Get lifted
Santana - Abraxas
Al Green - Greatest Hits
Agustine Lara - Anything!
Spanish Harlem Orchestra
Buena Vista Social Club - Anything!
The Soundtrack to A Bronx Tale

The Clash? Punk is dead. How about DIO- Holy Diver. There's nothing like a whole shop full of people chuckling under their breath and sharing significant glances while still appreciating the raw awesomeness of Ronny James Dio. Playing ironic/funny music can give your customers something to joke about and connect over, making the shop vibe more familial. Plus, Dio's just awesome.
