This LP is currently up for auction on Ebay…support Melting Pot and grab some mighty fine latin wax by clicking here.
Recently picked up this LP sealed at Amoeba, in their always interesting Latin Music section. Don’t know too much about Los Autenticos. I think they were a group out of Mexico, but I’m not really sure (seems there’s quite a few “Autenticos” out there on the internet). This album was released on RCA Victor in 1969 at the tail-end of the Boogaloo craze in NYC, but at a point where it was being picked up around Latin America, though with some different stylistic characteristics. In fact, I wouldn’t really classify any of these songs (including the ones with “Boogaloo” in their title), “Boogaloos.” The rhythms are a bit different, sometimes a bit on the Cumbia side, others a little more Salsa-ish. The one hallmark of Boogaloo that several of the songs do have is some serious hand claps and a great party vibe. Enjoy the sounds and the extra pictures for the Ebay folks.
Cheers,
Michael
Grupo oriundo de mérida , yucatán, una grabación que salió con esa etiqueta y otra de rojo y blanco, aún en activo , en mérida esporádicamente.
Gracias José, for non-spanish speakers he says the group was based around Mérida in the Yucatán area of Mexico and still play sporadically there. Nice to finally figure out a bit more about the group.
