Funky Friday - Latino Lovelies


Hola! Hola! Hola - it's all gone Channel 9 and Mondo Bossa shaped for todays fistful of funky numbers, revolutionary remakes and south american shakedowns - so fill your botas mi amigos.

Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba!
It's Wah-wah and bongo a go-go from Willie Bobo
Willie Bobo - 'Always There'



Scorchio!
There's a rootin' tootin' tropical tear up by way of...
Mongo Santamaria - 'Lady Marmlade'



Muchos Gracias
To Nanker for putting this loco cover on my musical map -
Pucho and his Latin Soul Brothers - 'Sex machine'



And finally ¡Salud! to Budd for tipping me off about Freakpower's 'Rush' which samples Pucho's 'Got Myself A Good Man'



Back to the usual Rioja and Roll next week hombres

    Hey Vince - you're back! How was the wedding? I've got just the tunefor you and Mrs Fufu.

    P - turn off your heating, and turn up the tunes. Isn't Southend meant to be one Britain's driest places?
