These steps will get them heard by who?

What are some of the many things that they could do to make themselves heard, and why do you think they aren’t doing them?

I had forgotten that he was involved in Herbie Hancock’s Rockit and Future Shock album. Also, I have the album but didn’t realise that he played on Daniel Ponce’s New York Now.

Similarly, how did “Herbert” Hancock get to score the soundtrack for Blow Up? A sample from which is used in Groove Is In The Heart.

Anything by them on Salsoul is worth investigating.

This is my favourite version of Little Sunflower Manny Oquendo & Libre

Here are a couple of NYC salsa greats. The subject matter is irrelevant. Here are the mighty Fania All Stars from the gig which was part of the Ali Foreman Rumble In The Jungle. Eddie Palmierei sadly died […]

I saw the Ousmane Kouyate release, it’s ridiculously expensive for a 12″. Unless the 2 tracks are Fela length, I won’t be buying it. I agree with your point about Music labelled Afrobeat not being Afrobeat. […]

I would count Orlando Julius, Dele Sosimi, who was in Fela’s band, and Geraldo Pino. Also Canada’s Soul Jazz Orchestra and Brazil’s Bixiga 70.
