Spanglish Fly

Spanglish Fly is a New York-based band dedicated to reviving and refreshing the vibrant sounds of 1960s Latin boogaloo, blending it with elements of soul, R&B, and salsa. Founded by trombonist and producer Jonathan Goldman, the group channels the energy of the original boogaloo era while adding modern flair, often singing in both English and Spanish (hence their name). Their releases, like *New York Rules* and *Ay Que Boogaloo!*, showcase their commitment to keeping the genre alive with danceable rhythms, brassy arrangements, and a playful spirit. Known for high-energy live shows, Spanglish Fly has become a staple at festivals and Latin music events, celebrating NYC’s multicultural legacy. They’ve collaborated with legends like Joe Bataan and even dropped a *Chain of Fools* cover that nods to their soulful roots. Their 2020 album *Latin Soul y Bugalú* solidified their role as torchbearers of the genre.
