I check in regularly with a lot of music blogs, and one of these days I plan to build a list of links for our sidebar here (I think I have too many blogs). But for now I'll just toss in a link to someplace cool every now and then. Today's cool:
Africolombia. There you'll find lots of music and album art, but not a lot of narrative/context. Still it's quite a treasure trove. If you're hungry for narrative
here's a decent article about the afro-colombian style of champeta.

"Creole therapy," what a great name for a music genre. This writer, Isabelle Leymarie, I know from a well thought-of book on Cuban music called Cuban Fire. I am constantly amazed by the amount of information she displays mastery over, and her easy-to-digest style. In my top ten list of Latin music writers.
