Description
Saint Latin’s Day Massacre by Joe Bataan (SLP-00420), a powerful fusion of Latin soul, boogaloo, salsa, and streetwise funk. One of Bataan’s most adventurous albums—split into "Side Life" and "Side Death"—it captures his unique voice as a bilingual artist and bandleader blending barrio storytelling with soul-rooted arrangements.
Produced by Joe Bataan and Jerry Masucci, and directed by Johnny Pacheco, this LP features scorching originals like “Coco-e” and “Charangaringa,” as well as bold reimaginings like his Latin-funk take on “Shaft.” Essential for Fania-era collectors and Latin soul heads alike.
