The Lat-teens “Buena Gente” on Cotique. This is a killer boogaloo record from 1968. All the songs are great, but my favorite is one called “Smoke Shop”. Produced by George Goldner.
The Lat-Teen’s were a New York City Latin soul group that made three Cotique LPs, this is their second. ‘The Lat-Teens’, which contained the popular ‘Mary-Wanna’ as well as ‘El Shingaling’ and their version of ‘Louie Louie’ was their first and then later, in 1969, they released “Fuego a la Lata” Their post Cotique material moved away from Latin Soul into a straight salsa bag. Formed by Nestor Colon, the Lat-Teens included Hector Castro at the piano and Rey Davila on voices, plus trumpets, conga drums, timbales, bongos with Carlos Pabon on writing and arrangements,
