Bang! Bang! Push, Push, Push
Joe Cuba
Released:
Jan 1966
Label:
Fania
This is the classic album that launched one of boogaloo's most recognizable singles: the insanely infectious "Bang Bang." But Cuba was never a one-trick pony, and this album bursts at the seams with what are, basically, stupid and brilliant party tracks. (And a little straightforward proto-salsa.) It often sounds like there's a gang of people in the recording studio, and the band and hangers-on frequently let out shrieks of joy, shouting each other down and clambering over each other to get the next jam going. Salsa's birth was just a breath away, but this was where the party was in 1966.
