 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.

 Various Artists Songs For Latin Lovers CD
From the laid back harmonies of the Joe Cuba Sextet to the kitsch charm of La Lupe; from the cocktail cool of Tito Puente to the suave crooning of Cheo Feliciano these are the tunes you'll know and the versions you'll love.
Joe ‘Sonny’ Cuba had spent the 50s playing to and making records for the ‘Gatskill Circuit’ (honeymooners, weddings and barmitzvahs) and so had as good a handle as any on ‘easy’ Latin music by the 60s, when Jimmy Sabater crooned this Nicky Jiminez beaut.
The singer on this track is almost certainly Miguelito Valdes, a Cuban whose distinctive style and explosive live performances led to his becoming a nationally familiar face with post-war Americans, a sort of Cuban counterpart to Brazil’s Carmen Miranda.
