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. Bobby Marin 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, for
instance did you know that's Bobby's older brother Richie is the responsible
for producing Manny Corchado's boogaloo stormer Pow Wow? ... essential
collection, play it loud!
