Bobby Valentin`s second (1965) album, issued back when he was a jazzy trumpeter! The record offers the “best in boogaloo” – as the cover states – and features a very mod mix of tunes that really gets at the mish-mash crossover energy of the Spanish Harlem scene of the late 60s! Highlights include the very groovy “Batman`s Boogaloo”, a reworking of the “Batman” theme; a hard driving remake of the hit “Good Lovin”, one that really exposes its Latin roots; a driving descarga number called “The Gate”; a Latin jazz remake of “Song For My Father”; and the super-hip, super-swingin tune “Geronimo” – a Latin soul winner all the way through.
