Various - Boogaloo flac album

Boogaloo or bugalú (also: shing-a-ling, Latin boogaloo, Latin R&B) is a genre of Latin music and dance which was popular in the United States in the 1960s. Boogaloo originated in New York City mainly among teenage Latinos. The style was a fusion of popular African American rhythm and blues (R&B) and soul music with mambo and son montuno, with songs in both English and Spanish. The American Bandstand television program introduced the dance and the music to the mainstream American audience.

This is a smoking compilation assembled from the Fania vaults. The label was an enormous part of the boogaloo craze, and many of its artists helped to invent this heady brew of Latin rhythms and hard soul.

Subtitled "Latin dance with New York attitude," this wonderful, wonderful album presents eighteen choice cuts from the boogaloo craze which ruled New York's barrios in the late '60s. They will make you feel good, feel strong, make your whole body want to dance and give you heart for tomorrow, just like they did for the kids on the West Side all those years ago. The first truly Nu Yorican sound-a melange of soul, rock and mambo, usually (and crucially) sung in English-boogaloo took over from mambo and cha cha chá in a few short months during the summer of '66.
