Johnny Colon - Boogaloo Blues (title track only)

I have included only the title song from the album here. A monster tune and one of the few from the thousands of boogaloo songs recorded that have stood the test of time. A landmark song that should be in any Latin collection! At the time of this recording, Johnny Colon was a young trombonist just getting his start -- working in the turbulent late 60s Spanish Harlem scene, and picking up on the wide range of styles going down in the hood. At one level, he was a straight player with a love for the sound of the early 60s descarga era -- but at another, he was a young kid absorbing all the soul, funk, and drug influences that were coming out of other groups at the time. The result is a really amazing tune with a slow, sinister groove that's unlike anything else we can think of. Boogaloo Blues locks into it's groove from the start and cooks all the way to the last beat. A classic!
