Joe Bataan - Latin Strut

100% killer Nu Yorican Latin funk masterpiece originally released in New York in 1974, issued here on Soul Jazz Records. ‘Latin Strut’ is Joe Bataan’s take on Deodato’s equally classic ‘Super Strut’, with Bataan adding loads of incredible and infectious percussion, wah wah funk guitar and more, to make a stone- cold classic 45. Alongside ‘Aftershower Funk’ (also available on special edition 7”) this is one of the toughest Latin / funk tunes ever recorded. Both sides of this single are super heavy Latin / funk / salsa monsters. This single is issued in exact replica label artwork and housed in a bespoke Soul Jazz Records recycled card master sleeve.
