Latin Roots: Latin Soul
Producer Aaron Levinson discusses the popularity of boogaloo and Latin soul ballads in the 1960s.
For today's Latin Roots segment, Grammy-nominated record producer Aaron Levinson takes us back to the 1960s, when boogaloo and Latin soul ballads shared space on the radio. As more Puerto Ricans arrived in New York City, their music followed suit.
