Various - The Rough Guide To Boogaloo album flac

Lighting up the streets of Spanish Harlem during the late '60s, the boogaloo was a supremely infectious merger of Latin, popcorn soul, and rock. It had all the ingredients for a commercial juggernaut, and by all rights it should have ruled the pop charts for at least a few months. And why it didn't needs more space than could be provided here.

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.

The Rough Guide to Boogaloo aims to change that, nicely showcasing the trademark blend of Cuban salsa rhythms and American soul. Notable luminaries dominate the album, including Tito Puente, Charlie Palmieri, Ismael Rivera, and Willie Colon. Bobby Valentin riffs confidently on the Batman theme, which perfectly showcases boogaloo's inherent ability to bend and shape various genres and styles. In fact, rock and blues influences are naturally included throughout the collection.

The Rough Guide to Dub is a world music compilation album originally released in 2005. Part of the World Music Network Rough Guides series, the release covers the roots of dub music, focusing on the period 1973-1980. Curation was performed by Steve Barrow, co-founder of the record label Blood and Fire, who also compiled The Rough Guide to Reggae and authored its companion book. Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network, produced the work.

Boogaloo is essentially North American Latin Soul music — the marriage that came as a result of bicultural Spanish Harlem.
