Lopez, Ray -& The Juniors-
We've Got Latin Soul
The legendary music publisher KPM, famous for its iconic music library catalogue, commissioned a group of session musicians in 2018 to write and record an authentic tribute to the early '70s Latin soul boogaloo blending heavy funk/soul with the infectious Latin rhythms (cha cha, mambo, rumba and bossa nova) Although not originally intended for commercial release, this vinyl LP is a limited pressing of just 500 copies and features 15 songs inspired by pioneers such as Tito Puente, Ray Barretto and Machito. Ray Lopez and his band recorded the session in the traditional way for this style using vintage microphones direct to analogue tape to get that classic authentic tone.
