/// SOUND LIBERATION FRONT is proud to co-sponsor the official NYC CD release party for JOE CUBA, El Alcalde del Barrio in collaboration with FANIA RECORDS, WAXPOETICS and LATINO RADIO
Following overwhelming successes in both San Fransisco and Los Angeles, the party comes to New York City, Joe Cuba's hometown and birthplace of boogaloo music. Featuring an all star lineup of seminal NYC artists and DJs including Chico Mann (Antibalas), The Boogaloo Assasins and NYC party veterans Bobbito and DJ Turmix, this unique event is going to be one to remember. Make sure you RSVP early!
A generation of Latinos growing up in Spanish Harlem in the 1960’s were influenced by their parents more traditional musical tastes, but adapted and combined it with the R&B and Bebop of the time to create their own unique style, which became known as Boogaloo. Joe Cuba was instrumental in the development of boogaloo and had the biggest hit of the 60s with “Bang Bang,” which achieved unprecedented success for Latin music in the US in 1966 when it sold over one million copies. Joe’s pivotal role in the boogaloo style had him nicknamed the “Father of Latin Boogaloo,” and his leadership in the community had him coined rightfully so, “the mayor of the barrio”
Joe Cuba, often called the architect of the nuyorican sound led an extraordinary life and left behind a legacy of wonderful music for us to take pleasure in. His presence will be eternally missed, but his spirit remains with those fortunate to have known him. ///
