Various Artists - We've Got A Groovy Thing Going The Latin Soul Of Bobby Marin (2024)

Those in the know are well aware of Bobby Marin’s work, and the fact that he was behind the scenes for some of the best boogaloo and salsa of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Yet, until now, no one has explicitly put Bobby’s name in the headline and given him his due on the cover of a properly credited Latin soul compilation. This compilation comprises twenty four essential boogaloo, Latin funk, rock and afro disco gems, each one bearing the mark of quality: “A Bobby Marin Production”, including songs by Ricardo Marrero, the Ghetto Brothers, Ocho, Louie Ramírez… A freshly curated overview of his fascinatingly complex back catalog in these genres.
