Rise to your feet and dance to Spanglish Fly this summer, moved to the rhythm and beats that homage and revive a genre of music popular to Puerto Rican teenagers in the 1960's in New York City ("boogaloo"). Brass, wind instruments, bongos, vocals and more come together in a very vivacious and original rendering of Latin music.

"Spanglish Fly is part band, part celebration: 11 musicians igniting a party that quickly spreads to the audience.  They have been 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, a/k/a 'El Barrio'... [is] an irresistible hybrid that blends Afro-Caribbean rhythms with the fervor, the feeling, and the harmonics of 60s-era soul.  SPANGLISH FLY 'roars through covers, originals, and transformations of previously untouched soul hits' (Village Voice), paying homage to the boogaloo genre while refreshing it for a new generation."  -http://www.spanglishfly.com/
