Land of the Sun is an album by American jazz musician Charlie Haden with Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba. It presents orchestral Latin dance music from 1940s Mexico, mainly composed by José Sabre Marroquín, which Rubalcaba arranged for an ensemble of ten featuring among others Joe Lovano and Miguel Zenon on saxophone. In 2005, the album won Haden the Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album.[1]

Music critic Thom Jurek of AllMusic wrote of the album; "Land of the Sun is a deeply romantic album, but it is lush without artificial ornamentation or affectation. Musically, its refinement is such that it begs critical as well as casual listening. Hopefully this won't be the last such exercise from Haden and Rubalcaba, but an introduction."[2]
