      Boogaloo Assassins Concert Review

      by Aztec Parrot

      Boogaloo Assassins are a 12-piece Latin Boogaloo, Salsa, and Latin Soul group from Los Angeles, California

      10 Years ago, the Boogaloo Assassins released a 7-inch cover of the
      classic Dawn Penn song, “You Don’t Love Me (No, No, No)” which rocked
      the SoCal radio airwaves just before the popularity of music
      streaming. With the release of their debut album, Old Love Dies Hard,
      the Assassins took their mean rent party boogaloo, funky salsa dura 12
      piece band everywhere including backing Fania legends Joe Bataan and
      Roberto Roena. The run peaked with an appearance at Salsa Parque,
      Colombia’s premiere salsa event in 2019.

      [Insert COVID] Damn!

      After a well-deserved adjournment into other projects, and the
      anticipation for their long awaited 2nd album, the Boogaloo Assassins
      threw a house party, and brought back the electric feeling of la
      pachanga with a long awaited show at Highland Park’s  Lodge Room. The
      12 piece ensemble, complete with a 4 part coro, started their show
      within their wheelhouse unloading boogaloo, son montuno, charanga and
      some funky timba tinted soul. At one point frontman Charles Farrar
      asked the sharply dressed and sweaty crowd, “Does everybody have a
      drink?” and conducted an official toast to start the party. The
      Assassins definitely swing by the signs of happy movement by the sold
      out crowd to their seasoned sound.

      They ushered in the nostalgia energy with a cover of the Joe Bataan’s
      arrangement of the classic standard “I Wish You Love Part 1 & 2” which
      starts with a slow crooning by singer Bobby Soul and ends in a smoking
      uptempo mambo. The crowd danced in appreciation and enjoyed the band’s
      heartfelt efforts to rock the house. Besides the energy of an excited
      and energetic crowd of dancers, the Boogaloo Assassins proved that
      their brand of funky latin soul pari music can still torch the dance
      floor but also survive a pandemic without losing a step. See this band
      when you can. Bring your dance shoes and two towels.
