Everything old is new again. Boogaloo Assassins and Chico Mann set off the party to celebrate the work and legacy of Joe Cuba.
After release parties in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Wax Poetics in conjunction with Fania Records are hosting the official New York record release party for Joe Cuba’s El Alcalde Del Barrio album. This release commemorates one year after the passing of this Latin legend in the newly relaunched Fania label. California’s very own Boogaloo Assassins will be headlining alongside New Jersey’s Chico Mann (pictured) who will be performing a live set of Joe Cuba’s songs, including the international hits “Bang Bang” and “El Pito (I’ll Never Go Back to Georgia),” as well as many other diverse numbers that spanned Cuba’s illustrious career.
Also, on the 1’s and 2’s legendary DJ Bobbito Garcia and Barcelona’s DJ Turmix will be mixing old school boogaloo, salsa, mambo and more.
