Manny Corchado - Pow-Wow



Killer tune! If you dont know get to know... From the youtube description:
Manny Corchado, featuring Tito Jimenez, made the 1967 Decca album Aprovecha El Tiempo (Swing While You Can) to try and please both American and the Latin record markets. Pow-Wow, written by Manny himself, is recorded in the boogaloo rhythm which was the current dance craze for both young Latin and American dancers.
"Pow-Wow has a weird native American groove that's totally great - lots of "woo woo woo" vocal bits at the beginning, and percussion that sounds like it's on the warpath - but also plenty of rolling Latin Soul piano lines, brassy horns, and spoken lyrics in Spanish."
