Latin Disco
![Aaron](https://www.soulstrut.com/2015/assets/img/anon.gif)
So I've been listening to a Joey Negro mix I found online and it features a few latin-influenced disco tracks, rhythmically speaking. I guess I find them noteworthy because, in this particular mix, they break up an hour's worth of strictly 4-4.Kingsmen Dazz - Love DesignInvisible Man's Band - Love Has Come, Love Can't ComeCerrone - Music Of LifeMy question is, what are some good latin-influenced disco tracks (no Candido)?
Comments
tracks are not my strong suit, but here are som LPs
Coke Escovedo-basically all his late 70s Mercury LPs
Eddie Palmieri LP on Epic from 1978, Voodoo Macumba I think it's called
King Errison-Have a Nice Day LP
WAR-Galaxy LP from '77
Salsoul Orchestra s/t
Some other latin influenced disco songs that I recently picked up are:
Jimmy Castor - (The name is either): "Leroy, Your Mama's Calling You" or "The Return of Leroy" (Larry Levan Mix) This is pretty damn good, and has a funky lyric of "Ya Mama" repeating throughout. Also has a mix of that devil/lucifer track on flipside.
Salsoul Orchestra - Oh I Love it ( Love Break) This is pretty funky. Check out anything by salsoul orchestra or for that matter on the salsoul label.
Sesso Matto - Sesso Matto. I think this was music was for an Italian porno. The name literally translates as "sex mad," which probably means either "sex-crazy" or simply "crazy sex." Most heads will recognize this.
Hope that helps. I've got many crates of disco 12s....
Sex Madness, I believe? Hence Cibo Matto = Food Madness (they got their name from Sesso Matto)

That's a goodie.
Also try the Martin Morales "Discoteca" comp:
Los Chicarrons - Congo Heaven, Bongo Hell (Exclusive mix)
Dubtribe Sound System - Samba Dub
United Future Organisation - Loud Minority
Stephane Attias - Brazilian Fight Song
Ruben Blades - Juan Pachanga
Yambu - Hippopotamus
Charanga 76 - Music Trance
T- Coy - Carino
Debbi Blackwell Cook - Changing Up
Basement Jaxx - Bingo Bongo
Little Louie Vega - Elements Of Life
Original Soulboy - Touch The Sun
The Sun Project - Lites
Which will read, "no nos parararararararan" or something
another great one.
that album used to be all over the place & impossible to sell here... not anymore.
even sold joe claussell one.
or "no nos detendran".
"WILL TEACH SPANISH FOR RAERS"[/b]
good luck finding that title then
'Sesso Matto' is basically a cover/rip of 'Soul Makossa' isn't it??
can't quite understand why this is/was such a pricey twelve...
---
it's the first release on a classic label, longer version than anywhere else, has an old school break, appeals to many different types of collectors and has been hard to turn up for ages.
is there an earlier Italian 12" of it?
---
ANother Star - Stevie Wonder
was there ever a 12 for this?
K.
i've heard rumours of a vintage one as well, but i'll only believe it when i see it.

Think you're talking about Jimmy Sabater.
Either `Gusto` or `Hijo de Theresa`.
that is a good lp, fronch house sampres laaar!
but yeah love supreme does sound the same tonally as the yambu.
