"This fabulous selection of 60s latin funk & soul nuggets comes beautifully packaged in a boxset of 10 45s. A lasting fix of the toughest Nu Yorican music. A set of firing latin soul monsters!"
TUNETRIBE (UK)

"The must-have item of the season is the incredible 10-single Explosivos box set –also available as a single CD– collecting 20 hard-to-find sides of swinging Nuyorican soul, jazz and boogaloo complete with the original style Fania, Cotique, Alegre and Tico labels. So they look amazing, but these vintage dance-floor destroyers sound even better."
NOW MAGAZINE (Canada)

"First class music, everything you have asked for. It is super, super cool. 5 STARS."

This box set of 7" singles (or on CD) brilliantly outlines what happened when the restless youth of Spanish Harlem collided with the 1960's, and created controversial sparks... Indeed, to this new breed of Hispanic Harlemites, the mambos and cha-chas of their parents, generation were a drag. Instead, they tuned to psychedelic fashions, wild parties, hip culture and the R&B of their time. The result was intoxicating. For a brief period, from 1966 to 1969, a multitude of Latin soul/boogaloo bands soaked raw Hispanic rhythms neck-deep in African-American rhythm & blues. It was a glorious moment that sadly stopped as soon as the 60's slid into the 70's. This CD and 7inch box set –the first of its kind– illustrates some of the Latin soul era’s finest moments. Culled from the Fania family of labels –Fania / Tico / Cotique / Alegre– it evokes a time when everyone in New York City was doing the boogaloo.
