"Feel the pulse of the 1960s as Latin jazz percussionist Bobby Matos brings the vibrant essence of New York's Nu Yorican sound to life with 'My Latin Soul'. Matos and The Combo Conquistadores infuse their music with the electrifying energy of Latin rhythm.Released originally on Philips Records in 1968, this album captures the spirit of an era when Latin Jazz was taking the New York scene by storm. With tracks like 'Tema de Alma Latina', Matos delivers a fiery showcase that has been setting dancefloors ablaze for decades. It's a reissue on Mr Bongo that compels both seasoned collectors and fresh ears to embrace the distinctive, pulsating beats that echo through history. Plus, majestic offerings such as the evocative 'Nadie Baila Como Yo' and the flute-driven whirlwind 'Mambo Maxims' elevate the album with their expressive melodies.
Bobby Matos's journey from informal backstage lessons with the likes of Mongo Santamaría to gracing stages at Carnegie Hall and iconic venues in New York and Los Angeles is etched into the fabric of every groove. His influence penetrated the jazz dance and acid jazz scenes of the '80s and '90s, turning tracks into prized collector's items alongside DJ staples.
'My Latin Soul' on black vinyl is both a nostalgic embrace and a fresh discovery - a true testament to Bobby Matos's enduring impact. Whether revisiting or discovering anew, this reissue is an invitation to experience the irresistible flair of Latin jazz."

STELLAR
Format: Hardcover
Highest quality print. I ordered this book during the early part of the 2020 pandemic. When it arrived I was so happy. The images were comforting during a time of great stress in our world. It reminded me that Final Fantasy has been a tremendous part of my life. I'm grateful for the effort put into this book, which was in part a preview of the Pixel Remasters that came later. Brilliant.

Amazing book, but unnecessary
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I would give this book 5 stars, but at the end of the day I don't think I can. I love flipping through it and looking at the color palettes and seeing the ways the artists communicated ideas through their limited palettes and spaces. There are also little 3D paper arts you can do of some of the sprites, like the fountain pictured above. It has helped me in my pixel art journey and it could 100% help you. The only reason I would say not to buy it is because all of the sprites are accessible online. If you want to understand the art on a deeper level and develop an appreciation for the passion that pixel art contains, buy it. If you want to look at them quickly as references and are an experienced pixel artist, it is not as useful, you could learn the rules just by looking at the sprites online, but you would miss the explanations and writings that help explain the art.

Great for my Quilting!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I bought this book at launch and it has pretty much become my “bible” for Final Fantasy pixel art. I sew and love making nerdy quilts so when I saw this, it was a total insta-buy. It showcases so much original art as well as newly designed sprites (for both older and newer games). I honestly didn’t know about the newer games being designed as sprites so when I saw this, I immediately got to creating.
Beyond this being a great pattern book for pixel quilting, I loved seeing a piece of FF history we don’t get to know about. Also loved the interview showcased.
A good book for any Final Fantasy lover collection!

A great book for a fan of the early final fantasy series.
Format: Hardcover
I love this book!
I grew up with the NES and this brought back a lot of memories of how as a kid I would get lost in the creativity of what developers of these games made with only some blocks.
I love pixel art and this book is great if you enjoy making your own and admiring the work of someone else's and seeing their imagination from some truly great games.
This book is small in size but is perfect size to show blown up images of final fantasy pixel characters and creatures, also of places from the games.
Also having final fantasy characters from beyond the Nintendo/SNES was a really cool surprise to see if they had been made in that era.
