Description of Latin Soul

 
Latin Soul simply refers to artists whose music infuses Latin American dance rhythms with elements of American Soul music. Examples range from the New York outfit Pucho & his Latin Soul Brothers, who combine gritty, down-home Soul Jazz with Salsa, to Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal, whose music seamlessly fuses Afro-Brazilian rhythms with Funk beats and jazzy, textured Fusion improvisations."
