CD (Item 611804) Secret Stash, Late 60s/Early 70s — Condition: New Copy

Killer cuts from the glory days of the Latin Soul scene – and a really nice little set that goes way beyond other collections of this nature! All tunes are hard-burning Latin groovers, with plenty of jazz in the instrumentation, and lots of soul in the vocals – but what really makes the package stand out is the way it brings together tracks that aren't compiled as often as others – including a number of gems from the Decca and Mercury labels of the 60s, mixed with other smokers from the Fania family of labels! Great all the way through, and with a whopping 22 tracks that include "Mia's Boogaloo" by Ozzie Torrens, "Chicken & Booze" by Manny Corchado, "The Boogie Man" by Louie Ramirez, "We Belong Together" by Herbie Oliveri & The Latin Blues Band, "Bataola Boogaloo" by Bobby Quesada & His Band, "Dance The Boogaloo" by Johnny Zamot, "Funky Shingaling" by King Nando, "Be's That Way" by Willie Bobo, "Straw Boss" by Lenni Sezar, "Cookin With A&J" by Johnny Rodriguez & Angel Rene, "Lost In The Jungle" by La Cucaracha Brass, "Boogaloo Sabroso" by Monguito Santamaria, "Marilu" by George Guzman, "Funky Big Feet" by Bobby Valentin, and "Lucy's Spanish Harlem" by Louie Ramirez.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
