After 4 years in the making finally a new chapter of RK's premier collection Let's BOOGALOO sees the light. This time legendary compiler Dean Rudland,
who is responsible of dozens of wicked compilations on BGP, Kent and
Blue Note, digs deep into - mythical NYC latin boogaloo producer - Bobby
Marin's catalogue to bring you an explosive collection of (northern) soul, deep funk and latin jazz tunes from Spanish Harlem aka El Barrio. Most of the tracks that are featured in this new volume arrive straight from Bobby Marin, Bobby has
been one of the main contributors and a leading figure behind the latin
Boogaloo movement in the mid 60s in New York producing and working
close together with stars such us Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri, Machito,
Riccardo Marrero, not to mention his own combo the legendary Latin Blues
Band, recently sampled by DJ Premier as the hook to Christina
Aguilera's 'Ain't No Other Man'.
As Rudland reckons "Bobby is part of
a crowd that have sometimes been overlooked because they weren't
central to the Fania Records story, but the music they produced told a
truer story of what was going on on the streets of New York than the
internationalist world view that was propagated by that label's owner
Jerry Massuci" So expect to find here the real stuff,an all killers
no fillers selection of rare and impossible to find latin boogaloo
singles from Bobby's vaults, including some previously unreleased tracks
taken directly from master tapes such us Richie's Theme byRichie &
the PS 54 Schooly. A bright sampler of the golden age of the one of the
most Infectious music genre ever recorded. Compilation comes with
extensive liner notes by Mr.Rudland ... essential collection, play it loud!
Release Date Monday 17 February. Pre-order now the LP + ltd edtion 45 on Bandcamp
