The Music of Joe Bataan "AfroFilipino"

The King of Latin R&B ( 'SALSOUL or LATINSOUL') - Joe Bataan

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Joe Bataan (also spelled Bataán) (born 1942 in Spanish Harlem, New York City) is an Afro-Filipino American Latin R&B musician from New York. He was born Bataan Nitollano and grew up in the 103rd and Lexington part of East Harlem where he briefly lead the Dragons, a local Puerto Rican street gang before being sent to the Coxsackie Correctional Facility to serve time for a stolen car charge.
Upon his release in 1965, he turned his attention to music and formed his first band, Joe Bataan and the Latin Swingers. Bataan was influenced by two musical styles: the Latin boogaloo and African American doo-wop. Though Bataan was neither the first nor only artist to combine doo-wop-style singing with Latin rhythms, his talent for it drew the attention of Fania Records. After signing with them in 1966, Bataan released "Gypsy Woman," in 1967 (the title track is a Latin dance cover of "Gypsy Woman" by The Impressions.) He would, in full, release eight original titles for Fania which included the gold-selling "Riot!". These Fania albums often mixed energetic Latin dance songs, sung in Spanish, with slower, English-language soul ballads sung by Bataan himself. As a vocalist, Bataan's fame in the Latin music scene at the time was only rivaled by Ralfi Pagan and Harvey Averne READ MORE>>>>

PART 1
The session with Joe Bataan was long, but worth every minute. In this first part of four the giant of the Nuyorican sound recalls his childhood growing up in East Harlem, his days in prison and how he turned from neighbourhood thug to neighbourhood hero. Not that it was easy! He had to go miles out of his way, literally, to convince the parents of his teenage band that he was a reformed character. He also tells us about his first recording session, how the Boogaloo changed things for Latino people and how he was in a unique position to play to all races, before the Latin purists did their best to squeeze it off the radio.

PART 2
In this second part of our Joe Bataan session we learn about the notorious businessmen of the New York music scene and how to avoid the rip offs. Hint: it helps to have a pseudonym and to secure your own publishing rights. We also hear about Joe’s role as a campaigner against exploitation in the industry and a trip he made to the communist East Germany with legendary revolutionary Angela Davis. Back home, Joe went on strike at Fania Records, so obviously learned something there, even if it wasn’t all smiles.

PART 3
In his third session Joe Bataan talks about his dissatisfaction with Fania Records and how he helped shape both the name and the spirit of Salsoul Records, the era’s premier Disco label. We hear the story behind his version of Gil Scott-Heron’s ‘The Bottle’, which introduced the world to a young David Sanborn, as well as Joe’s introduction to Rap, and how he recorded one of the first tracks in ‘Rap-O Clap-O’ and took it onto massive success in Europe, despite the no-show by one of the future major CEO’s of the Hip Hop music scene.

PART 4
In the last quarter of our four part session with Joe Bataan he tells us about his time working in the same prison where he was once incarcerated. He then goes on to tell us about the time he almost died and how it reinforced his faith. But most of this session is given over to music and after playing his ‘Rap-O Clap-O’ hit he gives us a demonstration on the keyboards of the magic that is Joe Bataan.

Rumba Calzada with Vic B.

Rumba Calzada's recently released Generations CD is a vigorous collection of songs written mainly by band members, and it stands up well against tunes coming out of Latin music hotbeds like New York City and Miami. While the whole band sounds finely tuned, Oliver Santamaria's assured vocals and multi-instrumentalist Victor Bongat's adroit solos stand out. The 27-year-old Geronimo, who studied percussion in Havana and New York, also impresses with his fiery drumming on the timbales. It's clear that Geronimo has adapted well to the bandleader role, although he acknowledges that all the legwork involved in organizing an active eight-member band hasn't make it easy. "It's been really stressful but at the same time really fulfilling" says Geronimo, who has his father's effervescent smile. In fact Generations is appropriately titled. "I think my father's spirit is very much in the music" says Geronimo, who also plays with Vancouver bands such as Soul Crib and the Mo'funk Collective.
