Saint Latin's Day Massacre (remastered edition)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 433713) Fania, 1972 -- Condition: New Copy

A real turning point for Joe Bataan -- and the beginning of his funky Latin sound of the 70s! The album was one of the first in Joe's "Salsoul" style -- a sweet blend of Latin rhythms, late 60s Latin soul influences, and some of the hipper styles bubbling through the NuYorican scene. A few cuts are in the sweet soul ballad mode of Joe's earlier years -- but there's others that pick up the groove nicely, and add in some guitar and vibes for a sweet electrified groove. Includes a great remake of "Theme From Shaft", plus the two-part "I Wish You Love", "If I Were A King", "Coco E", "El Regreso", and "Charangaringa".  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
