Spanish Fly performs a free concert at the Kennedy Center Wednesday at 6 p.m. Latin Beat Magazine had this to say about the boogaloo revival band:
From the street of New York City comes Spanglish Fly, an eleven-piece ensemble sworn to reviving bugalú (boogaloo) and Latin soul music. Modeled after the Spanish Harlem boogaloo bands of the 1960s, Spanglish Fly showcases pulsating Latin percussions, a raw soulful horn section, and funky bass and piano, with bilingual vocals. Led by Jonny Semi-Colón a/k/a Jonathan Goldman (trumpet) and featuring Erica Ramos on lead vocals, the band came together in the summer of 2009 with members originally from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico, Japan, Canada, New York City’s Upper West Side, and New Jersey.
