The Ghetto Brothers – Power-Fuerza

"Power-Fuerza" (1972) by the Ghetto Brothers, one of the best Latin funk albums of all time_ Produced by boogaloo don Bobby Marin, this masterpiece is a sonic testament to the Ghetto Brothers combining resilience, cultural richness and musical innovation. Each track is a vibrant tapestry that blends the raw energy of the South Bronx streets with the soulful melodies of the trio's Puerto Rican heritage. This obscure Latin funk gem has been out of print for some time and we are delighted to announce that it will be available again from February 2024!

The Ghetto Brothers have made the music their own, creating a powerful NYC-inspired musical fusion that caught the attention of record mogul Ismael Maisonave (Salsa Records). Their collaboration resulted in the recording of eight tracks in a single, electrifying day at Fine Tone Studios in Manhattan, skillfully produced by Latin studio maestro Bobby Marin (Harvey Averne, La Lupe, Brooklyn Sounds).

This musical odyssey showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres and create a NYC-flavored stew that captivates the listener with its authenticity. The hypnotic rhythms, infectious guitar riffs and passionate vocals reflect the Ghetto Brothers' commitment to expressing their unique experiences and encouraging their community through the universal language of music.
