Lost Sessions – New York 1976 Joe Bataan working in a pronounced dancefloor soul mode! While the legendary Bataan was no stranger to the fusion of Latin, soul and funk, this some of the most club soul oriented sounds from Joe we've ever heard – and the sessions are seeing official release for the first time ever! The recording feature players who worked on Joe's stellar Afrofilipino and features a backdrop of wonderful Afro and Latin percussion and rhythms with the best sounds of the NYC dancefloor soul in the mix – with uptempo and midtempo [...]
Back home from hot hot Louisiana, fortified by Boudin and a headful of Cajun squeezebox jams. But coming home doesn't have to mean the party ends. It just has to head up to Spanish Harlem circa-40 years ago. A little less humid, but just as hot. Joe Bataan - Riot

This is the first one. This is the ubiquitous Rick Ross remixed by The Prince of Ballard (who makes crazy [...]

En los setenta, la salsa atravesaba un momento de gloria. Gente como Eddie Palmieri, Héctor Lavoe, Willie Colón y Joe Cuba estaban en el pináculo de sus carreras, y la disquera Fania , enclavada en Nueva York, editaba masivamente los éxitos de un roster lleno de luminarias. La habilidad de Pacheco y Masucci para incorporar talentos a su emporio está bien documentada. Uno de sus fichajes estrella fue sin duda, Joe Bataan , a quien entre otras cosas se le atribuye la creación de un sonido conocido como latin soul. Mitad afroamericano y [...]

A couple times a month DJ Evil Vince will provide compilations of unearthed gems and classic favorites. First up is a compilation of Latin/Brazilian tunes. Enjoy.

I could spend months combing crates in Spanish Harlem, and still lack Oliver Wang's knowledge of Boogaloo, that fusion of Afro-Caribbean polyrhythms, Cuban Jazz, doo-wop and soul that flourished in New York and Latin America from 1965-1970. If you're looking for a definitive take on the music and culture, his Da Capo anthologized essay from last year, is comprehensive and sharp. By contrast, my recent Pop and Hiss interview with Los Angeles revivalists, The Boogaloo Assassins, is little more than an ABC-guide. I also recommend O-Dub's LA Weekly piece [...]
