Aprovecha El Tiempo

An intense fusion of Son Cubano, Rhythm & Blues and Western Pop and Rock'n'Roll that recalls the greatest artists of the Afro Cuban dance music and Latin Rock respectively such as Santana, Tito Puente oder Compay Segundo. A collection of catchy songs that invite everybody to dance. A must have for each fan of Latin pop and Boogaloo music. 1967 was a year where musical development went faster than lightspeed with so many new styles emerging from the basements of the musical hotspots in the USA and Europe such as London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City and many more. A year where pop music was colorful and went without boundaries. And in between were Manny Corchado, his orchestra and a guy named Tito Jimenez, who might be a prominent figure in the later 60s 'Boogaloo' movement but I am not certain for nothing could be found on the internet, neither about Manny nor about Tito. Mystical figures who released only one beautiful record and collectors item among fans of latin dance music of the 1960s which fetches prices over 200 ? for a copy in good shape. So why is this such a legendary piece of music? If you ever experienced the Boogaloo sound of the days when San Francisco was the ultimate capital of popular music and the place where more hippies and kids gathered than anywhere else on this planet, you will certainly understand. Boogaloo came from the streets of Harlem where Afro American and Afro Cuban musicians lived and partied together and therefore Rhythm & Blue
