I'm showing my lack of music knowledge here, but I am looking for a good Latin/Spanish artist/group/compilation that includes the trumpet as a centerpiece to the music. The trumpet can be a very soulful instrument in this genre, and that is what I'm looking for... kind of a western sound too.
Hope this is clear enough and makes sense... any suggestions?

I can't think of any whole albums of the stuff, but track down (
http://www.last.fm/music/Pink%2520Martini/_/Lilly?ac=lilly%20pink%20martini) Lilly, by Pink Martini. Very Latin American and featuring trumpet solos. Annoyingly, the clip on that page doesn't feature much of the trumpets themselves. You can find it on the
Hang On Little Tomato album.

You want a western sounding latin trumpet?
In any event, Afro-cuban Jazz is my absolu-mo fav. It helps that I'm Cuban, probably. When I get home I'll give you suggestions from my collection.

Yeah western sounding is a bad description... however, the type of trumpet I'm aiming for is commonly used in some styles of western soundtracks.
Thanks for the tip on Pink Martini... will check it out.

Give us some examples of this genre. Do you mean Gil Scott-Heron for example?
