They are one of the most famous interpreters of 'salsa brava' music.
The duo is well known for helping to establish the popularity of salsa music in the 1970s and 1980s.[1] They are also notable for fusing elements of classical music and rock with traditional Latin music. Among their biggest hits were "Richie's Jala Jala", "Agúzate", "El Sonido Bestial", and "Bomba Camará".[1] They are also famous for their Christmas songs "Seis chorreao", "Bomba en Navidad", and "Bella es la Navidad".
The duo was popular from 1965 to 1974 throughout Latin America and the United States, specially in Caribbean countries. In 1974, following a conversion to Evangelicalism and the inclusion of religious themes into their lyrics, the duo's popularity fell.[1] The group continued releasing albums, and broke up in the early 1990s,[2] however they reunited in 1999,[2] and since then they have been touring and releasing new albums.
In November 2006, the Latin Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences gave Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz a Lifetime Achievement Award.[3]

Jala Jala y Boogaloo is an album released by the salsa music duet Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz. Released in 1967, the album is influenced not only by Latin rhythms such as the Puerto Rican Jala Jala, but also by beat music.
Backed by the lead single "Richie's Jala Jala", the album was an international success, being popular in the United States, Colombia, Puerto Rico and other countries.[citation needed] The album's success led to the release of the follow-up Jala Jala Boogaloo Volume II with a similar cover and sound.[2]
Background With their previous albums, Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz had established themselves as prominent artists in the New York music scene of the 1960s. Following the success of hit singles such as "El Mulato," the duet received a contract with the Tico and Alegre record companies presided by Morris Levy. Moris Pelsman, Levy's partner, designated the famous Pancho Cristal to produce and supervise the duet's new recordings.[2]
After releasing Se Soltó early on that same year, Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz went into the studio with Pancho Cristal and engineers Fred Weinberg and Rodrigo Zavala[2] to record what would be the group's most successful album to that time.
Music Musically, the album is a synthesis of the musical trends that were popular in 1967. The Boogaloo craze was at its highest[2] and the Jala-Jala rhythm had begun to be known outside its native Puerto Rico. Also, Rock Music was at its highest with artists such as The Beatles at the top of the charts. All these ended up influencing the composition and recording of the Jala Jala y Boogaloo album.
"Richie's Jala Jala" is a Jala-Jala song in which Richie's Piano riff is an imitation of the cowbell's sound.[2] The song is notable for the protagonic role of the trumpets, played by Pedro Chaparro and Doc Cheatham, which gave the jala-jala genre a new sound.
"Baby Don't You Cry" is a boogaloo number, with a heavy influence from Afro-American soul music.[2] The use of English-language lyrics and soul-influenced singing is evidence of the North American influence on the song. "Colombia's Boogaloo", the first of many songs the group will dedicate to the Colombian nation, is a mix of Cuban Son montuno with boogaloo.
"Gentle Rain" is a cover of a bossa nova song by Luiz Bonfá, translated to Spanish by Pancho Cristal and transformed into a bolero. "3 and 1 Mozambique" is an example of Mozambique Rhythm, and the hit single "Bomba Camará" is a salsa song.
Lyrically the album shows both influences from Caribbean folklore as well as from North American culture. For instance, "Stop, Look and Listen" lyrics deal with pacifism, a common theme in the Counterculture of the 1960s; In contrast, "Cabo E" references the deity Changó as well as other gods of the Santería, a syncretic religion of the Afro-Caribbean culture.
Jala Jala Boogaloo Volume II is an album released by the salsa music duet Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz. Released in 1968, the album continues with the sound of its predecessor Jala Jala y Boogaloo, influenced by Latin rhythms such as the Puerto Rican Jala Jala, as well as by soul and Beat music.
Backed by the hit song "Mr. Trumpet Man", the album was an international success, being popular in the United States, Colombia, Puerto Rico and other countries.[citation needed] The album's success enabled the duet to sign a contract with West Side Latino records, and leave Alegre Records.[2]
Background With their previous albums, Richie Ray & Bobby Cruz had established themselves as prominent artists in the New York City music scene of the 1960s. Releasing Jala Jala y Boogaloo in 1967, the group achieved international success with hit songs such as Richie's Jala Jala. Following the success of that album, the group returned to the studio with producer Pancho Cristal to continue that formula.[2]
