"Tighten Up" was a summer 1968 number-one R&B and pop hit single by Archie Bell & the Drells. This Sonny Bravo cover is a blast. The son of a Cuban bassist with Conjunto Caney, Sonny Bravo had toured as a member of Tito Puente's Latin Jazz Ensemble, among other gigs. Like others, Bravo made boogaloo records in the late '60s. "We Got Latin Soul" by Mongo Santamaria is a cover of Dyke & the Blazers' "We Got More Soul." Mongo Santamaria introduced Afro-Cuban street music to the world. He later fused the music of his native Cuba with R&B and jazz to create a distinct sound that would be popular with audiences worldwide.
