Yo! Hot Latin Funk From El Barrio (2002)

Wonderful Harmless Records compilation long out of print. Fourteen killer tracks from the 1970’s NYC latin funk scene masterfully put together.  It is going to be a battle to pick out the best tunes: the hilarious Cisco Kid cover by La Crema de New York, the groovy middle section of Jimmy’s Yroco or the slick arrangements of Bobby’s Yo! Well, when it hits the deck, it’s a dancefloor filler guaranteed! Enjoy!
