Fania Goes Psychedelic - Boogaloo Blues

Subscribe to Fania: https://found.ee/fania-subscribe-yt-lat Fania newsletter: https://found.ee/fania-subscribe-newsletter-lat Much has been documented about the pioneering music that came out of the United States in the 1960s, amidst the social and political strife of the era. Certainly, the times were changing, but the music scene wasn’t just about the Summer of Love, or festivals like Woodstock or Monterey Pop. There was another movement happening in New York, in the heart of “El Barrio.” As younger generations of Latinos and Latinas were growing up, they, too, were rebelling against the establishment—whether that meant questioning their place in American society, experimenting with drugs, or breaking away from the traditions of their parents. As cultural barriers in the city loosened, and pop culture reigned, young Latin American musicians were exposed to more influences than ever before. They began combining soul, R&B, Afro-Cuban dance rhythms, and English lyrics to make a sound all their own—a craze which became known as boogaloo. Simultaneously, the rising drug culture among ‘60s youth was becoming a heavy influence across all genres, and Latin music was no exception. References to LSD, marijuana and other trappings of psychedelia—whether blatant or subtle—can be heard in many of the Latin soul songs of the era. #FaniaGoesPsychedelic To commemorate this unique moment in musical history, Craft Latino is proud to release Fania Goes Psychedelic—a 15-song compilation featuring Latin soul and experimental gems from the legendary Fania catalog.
