Influences
We're influenced by the music of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Spanish Harlem and beyond, with a special jones for New York City's latin boogaloo, salsa, soul & funk of the late 60's and early 70's.
Though too numerous to mention them all, we give the utmost of respect to: Ray Barretto, Willie Colon, the ALEGRE All-Stars, Joe Cuba, Joe Bataan, Kako, Azuquita, FANIA ALL-STARS, Bobby Matos, Eddie & Charlie Palmieri, The LA-Teens, Dawn Penn, Mongo & Monguito Santamaria, Willie Bobo, Pete Rodriguez, Harvey Averne Barrio Band, Joey Pastrana, Ralphi Pagan, Bobby Valentin, Chico Mann, Chin Chin, Barry Rogers, Tito Puente, Orestes Vilato, Cal Tjader, Ismael Rivera, Lebron Bros., Johnny Colon, Willie Rosario, Larry Harlow, Hector Lavoe, Ismael Quintana, Jose 'Cheo' Feliciano, Pucho & the Latin Soul Brothers, Poncho Sanchez, Francisco Aguabella, Jose Rizo's Jazz on the Latin Side All-Stars y mas y mas y mas...
Welcome to the party, y'all.. Formed in Los Angeles from the ashes of the rock-steady machine Ocean 11, latin-funk pioneers Five Degrees of Soul, ska stalwarts See Spot, Chris Murray Combo and even LA's favorite Vallenato Cumbia superstars Very Be Careful, the Boogaloo Assassins are here to get down Spanish-Harlem style. Heavily indebted to the classic sounds of New York's late 60's/early 70's latin music explosion, the Asesinos serve up traditional latin son/son-montuno/guaguanco/cha-cha-cha/latin boogaloo/latin soul, blues and descargas for your feets and ears. We keep it hot & greasy as we can..
vaya!
