Babaloo: New York Punk Mambo

[James M]

Take the rock out of punk and add mambo, or whatever. Essentially a Ska band claiming influences from a variety of Latin American styles. It's hard to know if or when they're being insincire, but they're having a good time.

There is a great band out of Puerto Rico called "La Tercera Planeta".(the third planet). They play it all,Ska,Rumba,Latin Rock,and more. They do tour on a small international circuit, and I only know of one recording, which was given to me on a cassette tape. Does anybody have any more info on this "smokin" young band.?......JC JOHNNY CONGA...

Hi JC,

Hope all is well! That's Millo Torres y El Tercer Planeta. "Cachete" and "Mañenguito" recorded percussion tracks on their albums. Here is a link to their web site:
