FREE SONG:'Cherry yo yo'
Since 1994, the self-proclaimed inventors of Punk Mambo and Hardcore JuJu have been exposing their audience of loonies, clergymen, bearded ladies, acrobats and gangstas to the infectious rhythms and melodies of their unique multilingual sound.
So what are punk mambo and hardcore juju? It is a mix of soukous, mambo, chacha, samba, reggae, ska and cumbia, sauté with some special ingredients and blended with the energy and wise-guy antics of punk. Perhaps it is best to describe the music of Babaloo as the bastard child of King Sunny Ade and the Ramones or Tito Puente and the Sex Pistols. Either way, Punk Mambo will get you dancing and smiling. Impressed?
Babaloo plays a unique brand of international dance party music. Babaloo originated in Jamaica Plain, MA, a multi-cultural enclave of Boston, where the music of local punk rock bands mix with the sounds of Mambo, Bachata, Reggaeton, and Merengue that emanate from car stereos, front stoops, and bodegas. Their music is rooted in Latin and Afro-Caribbean styles, such as mambo, cha cha cha, samba, reggae, ska, and African soukous combined with the energy, presence and irreverence of the best punk rock. Babaloo creates music that is truly infectious in an atmosphere that resemble a trip through the southern hemisphere with Johnny Rotten or Joey Ramone as your tour guide. They are truly a one of a kind experience.
