Every quote links to the moment in the episode.
"This is kind of a legendary record, Mongo Santamaria, going back to Cuba. And it has a kind of very exotic and collectible phrase on the back. It says, as if this is a good thing, 'Recorded under the personal supervision of the Fidel Castro regime.'"Watch this moment
"Gilberto Gil, 'Soy Loco Por Ti America' which is a very cool song of his. And I just don't have this record. And I'm a little light on Gilberto Gil in my Brazilian collection."Watch this moment
