But what of the producers, composers, and arrangers?<\/p>\n<p>One of the top old-school New York Latin music producers, Bobby Marin, was behind the scenes for some of the best independently produced boogaloo and salsa of the \u201860s and \u201870s.\u00a0\u201cSaboreando &#8211; Pot Full Of Soul\u201d, is the album Bobby created in 1969 for his friend Ralph Lew\u2019s newly launched Dorado label. Fifty-five years later, Bobby confirms that he commemorated his humble Barrio beginnings playing stickball on West 107th Street and singing doo-wop while some kids played percussion on junkyard drums, by christening the band The 107th Street Stickball Team.<\/p>\n<p>The 107th Street Stickball Team was basically the same pool of friends as Ricardo Marrero\u2019s group (Bernard Purdie on drums, Mike Vi\u00f1as on guitar, Ricardo Marrero on vibes), with the addition of Louie Ramirez playing piano and organ, Orlando Marin, Joey Pastrana and Ozzie Torrens on percussion, Mike Vi\u00f1as handling the electric bass, and Butch Johnson and Danny Agosto on lead vocals for a few numbers.<\/p>\n<p>At that time, soul music was seen by the present Latin generation, indeed the youth market in general, as something that was different, that broke with tradition. The record, with Bobby singing several of the best tunes including \u2018Mojo Shingaling\u2019 and \u2018Rhythm and Soul\u2019, highlights an affinity or connection between African American and Cuban music in a convincing blend that was emblematic of the scene and allowed the young generation to feel they had a fresh kind of music all their own.\u00a0No wonder the LP notes boast The 107th Stickball Team is \u201ca bunch of groovy youngsters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We are now happy to make this\u00a0undeservedly obscure funky, psychedelic Latin soul gem available again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><b>In 1969, producer and boogaloo godfather Bobby Marin conceived this undeservedly obscure funky, psychedelic Latin soul gem. <\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Released on Ralph Lew\u2019s short-lived Dorado label and engineered by Jon Fausty, Bobby was backed by a top-notch studio band that included Ricardo Marrero, Joey Pastrana, Bernard Purdie, Louie Ramirez, Orlando Marin and Ozzie Torrens. <\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><b>Includes liner notes by genre expert Pablo Yglesias telling the story behind the music.<\/b><\/strong><strong><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/strong><strong><b>180g vinyl.<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":113321,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15,193],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-113322","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-jazz","7":"product_cat-latin-en","8":"product_shipping_class-lp-en-3","9":"pa_formato-lp-en","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"taxable","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/113322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=113322"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=113322"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/munster-records.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=113322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
