SPANGLISH FLY — live event
"THE NEW KINGS OF BOOGALOO!" – Felix Contreras, NPR's Alt.Latino. SPANGLISH FLY: part band, part celebration, hailed as the premier band of the Latin boogaloo revival, "single-handedly reviving sixties bugalú in NYC" (NBC New York). Boogaloo! that mix of Latin and soul/R&B music that emerged from the clubs, the street corners, the transistor radios and the pool halls of 1960s Spanish Harlem, "El Barrio." Bugalú blends Afro-Caribbean percussion and rhythms with the fervor, the feeling, and the bluesiness of 60s-era soul. Two female vocalists front a band of three percussionists, four horns, and swinging bass and piano/organ. SPANGLISH FLY's multicultural cast has origins in Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Japan, Argentina, and Upper Manhattan. They come together in New York City to create quintessential music of the US streets. With: Mariella Gonzalez, vocal; Paloma Muñoz, vocal; Jonathan Goldman, trumpet; Stefan Zeniuk, baritone sax; Matt Thomas, tenor sax; Ric Becker, Trombone; Arei Sekiguchi, timbales; Dylan Blanchard, congas; Paula Winter, bongos; Edwin Estremera, percussion; Kenny Bruno, piano; Rich Robles, bass.
