With so many other old-school music eras being repeatedly tapped into to color recordings these days, the idea of "neo-Latin soul" being a thing that becomes omnipresent in 2012 sure sounds welcoming, especially if it promises to dish out more gems like Rene Lopez ' "Shing-a-ling Is What I Bring". Stripped from the singer/ songwriter/ multi-instrumentalist's 2011 release E.L.S. ("Electric Latin Soul"), "Bring" plants the listener smack-dab in the middle of a Nuyorican barrio party where the infectious merriment of bongos, trombones and trumpets and the good-times [...]
Mongo Santamaria, an internationally renown percussionist, died on February 1st 2003 at a hospital in Miami. The Cuban-born bandleader was eighty-five. Santamaria's propulsive skill as a conguero was a trademark of more than four decades of recording and performing, and punctuates his classic 1963 cover of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man," an unlikely, pre-Beatles hit in 1963 that hit Number Ten on the pop charts. Santamaria may be better known in improvisational circles as the writer of "Afro Blue," a beautiful, melodic composition that worked its way into the repertoire of jazz mainstays from Dizzy Gillespie to John Coltrane.

From 1965 to 1970, musicians in New York City fused English and Spanish lyrics with Afro-Cuban, jazz, rock and R&B rhythms and melodies to create Latin boogaloo. It was a period of revolution and social awakening and young Latinos in search of their identity, growing up in neighborhoods like East Harlem and the South Bronx, adopted Latin boogaloo as their soundtrack. This audience, once on the verge of leaving Latin music behind, now came to appreciate it. With the emergence of salsa, another New York creation, some say the Latin boogaloo was killed off, not by [...]

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.
