I was perusing the world music stacks at Ameoba a couple months ago when Boogaloo Pow Wow caught my eye, without knowing anything about it other than the kids in the picture seemed pretty cool, I picked it up. Upon listening to it I was introduced to a whole new world of late 60’s era latin soul, called boogaloo, a short lived music trend that grew out of Puerto Rican and Cuban neighborhoods of New York City.
With further investigation I was able to track down some more albums by the many salsa artists who released a boogaloo album during the trend’s high point. In tracking down these other albums I also came across some great blogs and podcasts* who introduced me to these artists as well as some amazing r&b and soul performers, who’s tracks are interspliced into this intoductory podcast. There are also two current artist’s tracks in the podcast because their songs fit in so seemlessly with these other songs from some almost 40 odd years ago.
