Joe Bataan - Under the Street Lamp (1969)
Los Angeles soul group the Exits (see yesterday) recorded the original, but there’s something so believable about this tune with Joe Bataan singing.  And you gotta love any song that mentions Willie Mays:
Willie Mays' a fella like you and me He made it big in the major leagues But before he became the major league champ He stood around just like me and the fellas

“El auge actual de la música urbana tiene un antecedente directo en la llamada salsa brava, que proyectó a nivel mundial el gusto por los ritmos caribeños durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Surgida en Nueva York con el sello Fania Records, reunió un elenco de músicos latinoamericanos que hoy son leyenda. En su legado, el barrio es una seña de identidad, así como sus letras, composiciones, intérpretes e instrumentistas de grabaciones y orquestas memorables”.

Song of the Day: April 3, 2024
Ralfi Pagán: Wonderful Thing Wonderful Thing on Amazon Prime Music I’ve been listening to a lot of music by Ralfi Pagán since discovering him a few days ago. He was born in the Bronx to Puerto Rican and Cuban parents, and that heritage defines his sound. He started out as an R&B artist in the late 1960s, with a style that combined his Latin roots with ’60s soul and a voice reminiscent of Johnny…

Uni label swirl 7″ paper sleeve (1966-1973)
From the label’s inception in 1966 to ending in 1973 on MCA’s volition, Uni /  Universal City Records pressed some of their 45′s with this smooth swirl motion and in Starburst colors. No relation to the Fania label who shares a similar typeset.

Ramón “Mongo” Santamaría Rodríguez (April 7, 1917 – February 1, 2003) was a Cuban percussionist and bandleader who spent most of his career in the US. Primarily a conga drummer, he was a leading figure in the pachanga and boogaloo dance crazes of the 1960s. His biggest hit was his rendition of Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man”, which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. From the 1970s, he recorded mainly salsa and Latin jazz, before retiring in the late 1990s.
He learned to play the congas as an amateur rumba musician in the streets of Havana. He then learned the bongos from Clemente “Chicho” Piquero and toured with various successful bands such as the Lecuona Cuban Boys and Sonora Matancera. In 1950, he moved to New York City, where he became Tito Puente’s conguero, and in 1957 he joined Cal Tjader’s band. He formed his charanga, while at the same time recording some of the first rumba and Santería music albums. By the end of the decade, he had his first pachanga hit, “Para ti”. He became a pioneer of boogaloo with “Watermelon Man” and later signed record deals with Columbia, Atlantic, and Fania. He collaborated with salsa artists and became a member of the Fania All-Stars, often showcasing his conga solos against Ray Barretto. In his later years, he recorded mostly Latin jazz for Concord Jazz and Chesky Records.
He was inducted into the International Latin Music Hall of Fame and the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame the following year. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
