		<description><![CDATA[Yes, another &#8220;Best of 2007&#8243; list. These 12 cds, are my favorites from artists primarily of Latin American origin and with lyrics in Spanish and Portuguese. Some were released in Brasil, Mexico, or elsewhere in 2006 but found their way to the United States in 2007.
