"Now-Again Records presents catalog-wide reissues of Latin music propellant
Joe Bataan
's legendary Ghetto Records. Next up in the series -- one of the label's most lauded recordings containing epic examples of big band salsa,
Horace Silver
-flavored modal jazz and soulful grooves -- masterminded by a young
Bobby RodrÌguez
with vocals by
Papo Felix
. Ghetto Records was Joe Bataan's way to get over on 'The Man' and out of the 'hood, a bold move by an artist looking for independence and creative control in an industry that had exploited his talents and treated him like chattel. As Bataan puts it today, 'Ghetto Records was part of my journey, a stepping stone to everything else that I've done. I learned enough that it enabled me to get out of the box with my thinking, it showed me how to deal with adversity.' Like many dreams and schemes born of the street, this one was audacious, perhaps even reckless to a fault. Hatched from desperation yet full of hope Ghetto Records came crashing down shortly after its inception. The seven albums in its discography languished out of print -- until now. These are the definitive reissues of these albums, licensed from Joe Bataan, with his oversight and input into a 16-page oversize book by
Pablo Yglesias
that details Bataan's larger-than-imagination life and his little Latin label that could."
