Synopsis

Product Description
The late Joe Cuba was a master of fusing hybrid sounds, both
Latin and Soul, and had the vision to architect a new one called
Boogaloo. He headed the Latin soul movement and was lyrically
fluent with Spanish and English always sporting an urban attitude.
He sang, played congas and earned a reputation putting on swinging,
dynamic shows with a unique vibraphone-fronted six member
band. He delighted New Yorkers and soon the fever spread across
the country. Joe Cuba scored big with the #1 hit song Bang Bang
Push Push and ushered in the Latin Soul movement with El Pito
(Never Going Back To Georgia). His music was the catalyst of the
'Nuyorican' movement and he will be forever known as El Alcalde
Del Barrio , the honorary mayor of Spanish Harlem.
