Larsc Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I rarely listen to the latin stuff, but I've always thought this was a better version than the original. As a bonus the flip is nice too. Both very breezy summer songs. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Philippe Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Some years ago -besides soul and funk- I was interested in latin music. I liked Joe Cuba, Pete Rodriguez and others but for me the most original and creative artist of the genre was Johnny Colon : 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Perhaps the reason it was described as latin is because they were Mexicans from east LA. I can hear a lot of latin in that record. Even that opening brass known to every man and his dog on the northern scene is played in a key and style associated with latin music not black american. 6 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Similar vein to this, that latin Tijuana Brass influence is in a lot of soul, Tempests, Tomangoes spring immediately to mind but there are loads, like this one.

Guest BabyBoyAndMyLass Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Have to say folks that I started with the attitude that I didn't particularly get it, but having listened to all these, yes, I'm getting it, it has it's own vibe and it has grown on me, hearing more of the good end of it has improved my ear towards it, so cheers! I did like this one already but not sure it's strictly the same as it doesn't have that bouncy beat, but there is something about it! So cheers folks, enjoyed this thread, enlightening.

Guest Josep Manuel Concernau Robles Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 A Latin - Soul - Jazz musician I have been herding many hours, Louie Ramirez. This track "Barrio Nuevo" sounds alike as Salsoul orchestra and his vibes like the ones by Vincent Montana (in fact, he made an entire album of Philly Soul covers, Bad Luck, Do It Anyway You Wanna, etc.): Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Josep Manuel Concernau Robles Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hi, The YanK In fact, "Salsoul Records" started as a reformulation of the previous label Mericana Records owned by the same Kayre Brothers (they have worked with the most important "salsa" and "latin" artists in the NY scene) and the first realises on the label Salsoul were by Grupo Folclórico Experimental Neoyorquino, Manny Oquendo & Libre, Joe Bataan and Cándido Camero. Some tracks by the Salsoul Orchestra as "Ritzy Mambo" sounds totally like a Fania or Cotique record. There's also some productions by Vincent Montana (RIP) from these same years as the "Cross Over" album by Fania All - Stars or his more "recently" collaborations with Tito Puente or La India: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

This release of "La Botella" on Epic does show the connection though. I knows that the Kayre Brothers were the owners of Mericana Records because this is explained in the linner notes of the Charly Records / Salsoul double CD "Salsoul Essentials Vol. 2". I have recently acquired some other Charly / salsoul CD's by acts like Double Exposure, Eddie Holman and Cándido's "Anthology". The instrumental "La Botella" by Joe Bataan features the great sax player David Sanborn when he was very young and little known (and I read that is uncredited!). In the late 70's-first 80's the only vynils I have by Salsoul were "Let It Snow" by Bunny Sigler (includes a masterpiece of fine soul, Marvin Gaye soundalike's "Since The Day I First Saw You") and Salsoul Orchestra "Magic Journey" with the jazzy and latin-feel "Runnaway".

The Yank Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Now that I've re-listened to "La Botella" that sax part does sound like David Sanborn! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Still Diggin Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Lets not forget the Tex- mex connection to our various associated scenes as well. In fact the 45 by Joe Jama 'My life' on the optimum logo was one of the most wanted and biggest northern tracks several years back. With groups like Sunny and the sunliners 'Should I take you home' on Keylock , Dimas111 ' I won't love you again' on Clown being firm favorites with the low- rider Scene. While it could be argued that in many respects the latin influence on the tracks mentioned is minimal, it is without doubt a hybrid of mexican and black american music. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I would categorise it as "chicano soul"....the horns are so latin that they're nearly mariachi! This is chicano too (one of my all time favourite northern soul records). I always used to ask Keith Money to play it at the 100 club, because I knew he'd have it in his play box.
