   About The Boogaloo Assassins
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!
