Latin Soul..Any fans?

[splanky]

This is actually both a spin off of the Tito Ramos thread Juice started and something I
wanted to do last weekend but I kind of was cut up by the passing of Abbey Lincoln...
Anyway, though I liked Tito solo I really loved him with Tony Rojas in the TNT Band. For
those who never heard anything other than The Meditation...

Indeed. Latin Soul was extremely hot here in N.Y. when I was about 5 & for years afterward.

How about some of these:

Pshark! Amazing! It is amazing! I was thinking about "Hey Leroy [[Yo Mama Calling You)" when I made my post earlier LOL! Great memory.

I really like Latin soul...not too long ago, I borrowed a CD from the library on the UK BGP label entitled "The Soul of Spanish Harlem", which is all cool Latin soul tunes...big recommendation if you can get it!

Best,

Mark

I'm a fan of Latin Soul. I know it was pretty huge in New York,but not that big on Chicago radio,for some strange reason. [[?)

[mr_june]

Was and is this a NY thing? Here in Chicago, I don't recall Latin Soul being a hot topic.

[GeeTee(HPK)]

I want to say that is caught on pretty big in NY than in Chicago,even though Chicago has a huge latino population. The music was probably played in the neighborhood,but not that much on the airwaves.

I might post clips later, but i've collected various releases by Brazilian artists through the years. Some who mix[[ed) their work with a touch of soul are Almir Ricardi,
Ana Mazzotti, Banda Black Rio, Ed Motta, Gilberto Gil, Jair Oliveira, Marcos Valle, Paula Lima, Robson Jorge & Lincoln Olivetti, Taxi, Tony Bizarro, Wilson Simoninha, etc...

I knew and loved Joe Bataan and War here in England, but was not aware of these other great artists. You got me hooked| Thats what is so great about these forums. You get introduced to all this wonderful music you never knew existed. Many, many THANKS....Paulo

[marv2]

Can we consider Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 "Latin Soul" or would they have to be classified as Brazilian Jazz, Bossa Nova or Somba,etc? Here they are with a favorite "Mas Que Nada"

[mrfinewine]

I'll be playing a pile of Latin soul 45s on my radio show tonight at some point....91.1 FM in the New York City/Northern New Jersey area, or www.wfmu.org online, from 7 to 8 pm....the show's called "Downtown Soulville"....many, many years of archives available at www.wfmu.org/playlists/sv [[I don't always play Latin things).

[marv2]

Thank you mrfinewine. I will check it out !
