Los entendidos del género conocen de sobra su trabajo y el hecho de que es una figura omnipresente —a la sombra— en mucho del mejor boogaloo y salsa de los 60 y 70. Pero, hasta ahora, nadie había puesto el nombre de Bobby Marin en un lugar prominente, acreditándolo y destacándolo en la portada de un recopilatorio de latin soul.

Esta compilación reúne veinticuatro joyas esenciales de boogaloo, latin funk, rock y afro disco, todas ellas con el marchamo de calidad “Producción de Bobby Marin”, incluyendo canciones de Ricardo Marrero, the Ghetto Brothers, Ocho, Louie Ramírez… Un repaso, cuidadosamente seleccionado, a su fascinante y compleja obra en estos estilos.

Since the late 1980s there have been numerous Latin soul and boogaloo compilations, and certainly much has been written about the history of the music too. An excellent documentary (We Like It Like That, by Mathew Ramírez Warren) and a theatrical musical called I Like It Like That, both named after the well-known Pete Rodríguez anthem ‘I Like It Like That’, have brought the music to a broader audience as well. That tune was also the inspiration for a film in 1994 of the same name that featured a contemporary cover version of the song by Tito Nieves, and more recently the original was sampled by Cardi B and has appeared in commercials too. Additionally, there has been a revival of interest in live bands playing boogaloo and even recoding new compositions, with notable releases by the likes of Setenta, Spanglish Fly and the Boogaloo Assassins among others.

Generally, when discussing the “first wave” of Latin soul and boogaloo, it’s the bands and their leaders, the singers and the songs that get all the recognition. But what of the producers, composers, and arrangers behind the music? Over the years, one of the best old-school New York Latin music producers, Bobby Marin, has occasionally been given some well-deserved credit and popped up sporadically in articles or liner notes (Wax Poetics, Fania, Gladys Palmera). However, to the casual public, he is not a household name, even among some fans of boogaloo and salsa. Thankfully, those rare few who are in the know are well aware of his work, and the fact that he was behind the scenes for some of the best boogaloo and salsa of the ‘60s and ‘70s. There are even some contemporary Latin soul compilations that contain mostly material licensed, produced and / or written by Bobby (or his brother, Richard), and a tip of the hat must go to Bobby’s friend Dean Rudland for all his work in this area, as well as to Rocafort Records for digging up the long-lost Nitty Gritty Sextet album.

Yet, until now, no one has explicitly put Bobby’s name in the headline and given him his due on the cover of a properly credited Latin soul compilation. This collection aims to change that and give the man his Latin soul “props” for the first time on a freshly curated overview of his fascinatingly complex back catalog in this genre.

Twenty four essential boogaloo, Latin funk, rock and afro disco gems, each one bearing the mark of quality: “A Bobby Marin Production”, including songs by Ricardo Marrero, the Ghetto Brothers, Ocho, Louie Ramírez…

But what of the producers, composers, and arrangers behind the music? Over the years, one of the best old-school New York Latin music producers, Bobby Marin, has occasionally been given some well-deserved credit and popped up sporadically in articles or liner notes (Wax Poetics, Fania, Gladys Palmera). However, to the casual public, he is not a household name, even among some fans of boogaloo and salsa. Thankfully, those rare few who are in the know are well aware of his work, and the fact that he was behind the scenes for some of the best boogaloo and salsa of the ‘60s and ‘70s. There are even some contemporary Latin soul compilations that contain mostly material licensed, produced and / or written by Bobby (or his brother, Richard), and a tip of the hat must go to Bobby’s friend Dean Rudland for all his work in this area, as well as to Rocafort Records for digging up the long-lost Nitty Gritty Sextet album.

Yet, until now, no one has explicitly put Bobby’s name in the headline and given him his due on the cover of a properly credited Latin soul compilation. This collection aims to change that and give the man his Latin soul “props” for the first time on a freshly curated overview of his fascinatingly complex back catalog in this genre.

Twenty four essential boogaloo, Latin funk, rock and afro disco gems, each one bearing the mark of quality: “A Bobby Marin Production”, including songs by Ricardo Marrero, the Ghetto Brothers, Ocho, Louie Ramírez…
