Boogaloo Assassins

**Boogaloo Assassins** are a Los Angeles-based crew serving up a spicy blend of Latin boogaloo, funk, and soul with a modern twist. Known for their high-energy live shows and retro-cool vibes, the band—led by producer/organist Roger Rivas (of The Aggrolites fame)—mixes punchy horns, groovy rhythms, and infectious hooks that nod to the golden era of 1960s Latin soul while keeping things fresh. They’ve become staples of the SoCal scene, collaborating with legends like Joe Bataan and sharing stages with acts such as The Slackers. Tracks like “No No No” and their rowdy live sessions (like their 2017 *Jam in the Van* appearance) showcase their knack for turning any room into a sweaty, dancefloor throwdown. Whether on record or IRL, they’re all about keeping the boogaloo flame alive.
