“What Sharon Jones did for oldschool soul, what Antibalas did for
Afrobeat and what Chicha Libre is doing for chicha, Spanglish Fly is
doing for bugalu. . . . It’s about time somebody brought this stuff
back and it’s a good thing it’s this band because they have authentic
sabor with a 5-piece horn section, three percussionists, piano and a
rhythm section plus Erica Ramos’ casually alluring, soulful voice
soaring over it when there’s room. As dance music, it’s irresistible
(at a live show, the group will often offer a free dance lesson for
anglos or newschoolers who didn’t have the good fortune to grow up
with this). – Lucid Culture
First Friday nights (the first Fridays of each month) are Boogaloo
nights at CAMARADAS El Barrio. SPANGLISH FLY is New York City's only
band dedicated to cooking up the spicy musical dish called bugalú! Two
pounds of hot mambo stirred together with fifteen ounces of Motor-City
Motown, deep fried for three hours and you get a bucket load of mouth
watering soul Latino!
