Виниловая пластинка Steve Hernandez - The Booga Mambo Beat [New Vinyl LP] 180 Gram

Genre: Latin Pop/Rock

Release Year: 2026

Long considered a Holy Grail of Latin vinyl, 'The Booga Mambo Beat' (1967) by Steve Hernandez y Su Orquesta Latinoamericana returns.
This LP has puzzled collectors for decades: who *was* Steve Hernandez, the shadowy figure behind this powerful orchestra including top Puerto Rican and New York musicians?
Arranged by Ray Santos and featuring vocalist Vitin Aviles, the album delivers a unique mix of mambo, boogaloo, descarga, proto-salsa, and 1950s big-band swing. A rare bridge between the Palladium sound and the emerging salsa era. Originally self-released and barely promoted, the record became a cult favorite among DJs and collectors.
Sourced directly from the original master tapes, discovered in outstanding condition, this edition is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and includes extensive liner notes by Pablo E. Yglesias (DJ Bongohead) and a digital download code.
