Boogaloo Assassins:
Formed in Los Angeles from the ashes
of the rock-steady machine Ocean 11, latin-funk pioneers Five
Degrees of Soul, ska stalwarts See Spot, Chris Murray Combo and
even LAs favorite Vallenato Cumbia superstars Very Be Careful, the
Boogaloo Assassins are here to get down Spanish-Harlem style.
Heavily indebted to the classic sounds of New York’s late
60’s/early 70’s latin music explosion, the Asesinos serve up
traditional latin son/son-montuno/guaguanco/cha-cha-cha/latin
boogaloo/latin soul, blues and descargas for your feets and ears.
We keep it hot & greasy as we can..
vaya!
