  San Francisco Bay Guardian | Arts and Entertainment
Born in 1942 as Bataan Nitollano to a Filipino father and an African American mother, Joe Bataan was raised in Spanish Harlem for most of his youth.
Bataan says he and his young cohort "caused problems with the big mambo [artists] at the time because we were taking their space.
Bataan attributes that end to his recording career as a combination of several factors, not the least of which was a general weariness with the pressures of the music industry but also a desire to spend more time with his wife and young children.

Despite what most people thought when Joe Bataan topped the European charts with "Rap-O Clap-O" in 1980, he wasn't a new kid on the block, nor was "Rap-O Clap-O" his first chart buster -or a very good representation of the music he was known for among his longtime fans in America.
In fact, Joe had been recording for well over a decade (his first U.S. hit was "Crystal Blue Persuasion" on the Uptite label in 1969) and he was known as the "The King of Latin RandB".
While his musical contemporaries have either retired or are stuck performing their decades old material, Joe Bataan has again reinvented with his first new CD album in 20 years, "Call My Name" on VampiSoul Records (www.VampiSoul.com), a European release recorded in 2004 at New York's famed Daptone Studios.

 Miss Funkyflyy's Joe Bataan Page
By the early seventies, Joe was signed to Mericana, a label owned by brothers Joe, Ken and Stanley Cayre, who were important distributors of Latin and Salsa records.
In 1973-74, Joe released "Salsoul", an album that would lend its name to the Dance-music label the Cayre's were just starting up at that time; a project which Joe also helped fund.
Joe's band -which included his wife of twenty-six years, Yvonne, on vocals- went on to play in South America, California and New York City.

 soul sides: JOE BATAAN: ORDINARY GUY
That's why I'm really glad Joe Bataan came to town this weekend to play what was really and amazing, amazing show at Herbst Theater in S.F. It wasn't sold out but it felt like a capacity show and it wasn't just that the music was soul-satisfying and rousing (which it was).
Bataan wasn't the first boogaloo master - he followed in the footsteps of folks like Joe Cuba, Pete Rodriguez, and others - but what he brought into the genre was a real soulfulness that wasn't always present in the more party-song style of other key boogaloo figures.
Last but not least, Joe disappeared from recording for about 20 years but when he came back to it, he really blew a lot of folks minds on his Call My Name album, released by Spain's Vampi Soul and about to be put back out in U.S. rotation by Seattle's Light in the Attic.

 Profile: Joe Bataan
Joe Bataan is rightfully esteemed as the King of Latin Soul.
However music proved to be the salvation of this Afro-Filipino with a Latino heart and soul when he rounded-up a group of young Latin musicians to form the Latin Swingers in October 1966.
Ironically, Joe had initially written Spanish lyrics to "Gypsy Woman" for the band's co-lead vocalist Joe Pagan to perform.

His musical experience began with street corner doo-wop in the 1950s, and came to include one of the first rap records to hit the charts, 1979's "Rap-O, Clap-O".
In many ways, his vision was on the money, though most of the money would go to others, and mainstream stardom would elude him.
His biggest commercial move was a Salsoul production released under the Epic umbrella, and promoted to the new disco market as Afrofilipino, which included 1975's "The Bottle", a much anthologized classic that drives an R&B horn arrangment with a relentless piano montuno.
