Anyone watch this? Genius programme and great to hear due deference being paid to Larry Harlow. What a genius arranger that guy is.

Dug out my old copies of "Nuestra Cosa" and "Salsa - The Movie" for the first time in years. Fantastic stuff.

Anyone got any thoughts on why 70s Latin music not generally considered to be as cool as say Roots Reggae. Is it the language barrier or the James Last Orchestra / Johnny Wad styling?


It doesn't need to be considered cool. It is still very vibrant. It was part of Ny punk scene via Kid Creole. Plus the poly rhythms are not easy for most to pick up and play.
