Joe Bataan / Latin Soul Documentary On Swedish TV

[SebastianF]

This past thursday, one of the national swedish TV channels aired a documentary about latin soul and salsa in New York City. Parts of it were quite damn good in my opinion, and especially the first 20 or so minutes which consisted of recent Joe Bataan interviews/footage/performances shot in New York (singing "Subway Joe", "Ordinary Guy" etc.). The entire programme can be seen on the following link:http://www.svt.se/svt/road/Classic/shared/mediacenter/index.jsp?&d=83146If you want to stream the file in VLC player (or similar), use this link:mms://qstream-wm.qbrick.com/00928/auto30/080221papas.wmvSome of the talk is in swedish, but the interviews are in english. I'd recommend those of you who are into this kind of stuff to check it out, epecially the parts that covers Joe Bataan/Johnny Pacheco/Fania and run from: 03:50-10:4012:40-16:15 (awesome!)18:45-22:10 (perhaps even better!)

I really enjoyed this, thanks. The scene with the portable record player and Bataan singing over the tracks was awesome.

Right now I'm watching a previous episode, the jamaica special. Some nice sessions with the musicans from the Rockers movie (Horsemouth, Kiddus I etc.) around the 20:00 mark.
