Everybody knows how to do the boogaloo, and everybody knows how to do the shing-a-ling. Los Poboycitos formed in the fall of 2006 in a Garden District living room in New Orleans, Louisiana, a city with a longstanding connection to music from Latin America. An eclectic group of musicians who have come to call New Orleans home, they bring together the Nuyorican sounds of boogaloo, Latin soul and Latin funk with the traditional music of the Crescent City.
Los Poboycitos borrow from Mongo Santamara and Willie Bobo, and from Professor Longhair and Lee Dorsey; from the Jimmy Castor Bunch and the Rebirth Brass Band. They play music from the Latin soul canon, and they reinterpret traditional New Orleans music to show off its Latin roots.
