JOHNNY COLÓN 'Boogaloo Bluesman (Best of Cotique Recordings)' (LP 220 gr) 

“LATIN BOOGALOO IS HERE!” – that was the sound of the mid-60’s. Johnny played an indelible part in the creation of this new style, cutting three superb albums in the late ‘60’s and then 3 excellent post-boogaloo LPs in the ‘70’s.  But, unlike a lot of his boogaloo contemporaries, he was an extremely versatile musician - a multi-instrumentalist - and singer.  And such skill undoubtedly helped him record some of the most potent tracks of the era. Cotique became one of the finest Latin boogaloo/Latin soul labels in the second half of the 1960’s and Johnny’s first hit, Boogaloo Blues, undoubtedly helped them achieve this.  This is the perfect blend of Latin soul and Jazz and, now as much as then, it is young, alive and swinging.
