Pucho and His Latin Soul Brothers

Pucho and His Latin Soul Brothers, led by timbales maestro Henry "Pucho" Brown, cooked up a spicy fusion of Latin jazz, soul, and funk starting in the 1960s. Born from New York’s vibrant musical melting pot, the band became known for its gritty, dancefloor-ready grooves that blended Afro-Cuban rhythms with R&B swagger. Their sound—whether on originals or inventive covers—embodied the era’s boogaloo craze while pushing boundaries with psychedelic twists and hard-hitting brass. Recent releases like *Pucho’s Descarga* (and its remixes) and *Caliente Con Soul* prove their legacy as pioneers of Latin soul still slaps, offering both throwback vibes and fresh energy for modern ears. Whether you’re digging into their classic catalog or newer joints, Pucho’s crew remains a go-to for genre-blurring grooves that refuse to sit still.
