"Let’s Boogaloo", presented by Dean Rudland is a celebration of the storied legacy 60’s Latin Music. With most of the music produced by Bobby Marin, Vol. 6 features rare and unreleased material that originated out of East Harlem, the birthplace of the burgeoning Nuyorican sound. There’s plenty to savor here starting with the opener, The Machito Orchestra’s stirring rendition of Sam & Dave’s "Hold On I’m Coming". The Ocho Band, led by Chico Mendoza is a simmering Latin Jazz tune that was produced Marin. "There’s No Other Girl" is a slow burning number by The Latin Chords. Heavily influenced by the music of James Brown and Jackie Wilson, Marin’s fusion of soulful RnB and Latin rhythms still resonate today. This disc is a wonderful reminder of where it all started.
