Orchestra Kool blends boogaloo, Latin soul and Afro-Cuban rhythms into an energetic New York classic, reissued on black 12" vinyl.

Reissued on 12' Black Vinyl, Orchestra Kool's 'Kool Heat' is boogaloo at its purest. Recorded in 1965 by a young group of emigres from Puerto Rico, the record is a perfect snapshot of the intersection between Latin and Black culture, island life and city living, traditional Latin music and the 'new music' of rock and soul. The album elegantly captures what it was like to be young and in New York.
