Joe Bataan, salsoul bro!


On other wicked cover....

According to specialists, Joe Bataan was influenced by latin boogalo and afro american doo-wop, in my opinion the music of this talented pianist remains as one of my favorites funk from the 70's. Maybe because of his latin vocalists and the great breaks done by cuban percussions that really characterize the sound of the guy on this album "Salsoul".

Two tracks right here from this LP released in 1973 on Harlem based label Mericana records .
