Boogaloo
Boogaloo
or
bugalú
(also:
shing-a-ling
,
Latin boogaloo
,
Latin R&B
) is a
genre
of
Latin music
and dance which was popular in the
United States
in the 1960s. Although it came to prominence after the
bossa nova
and was influenced by the new drumbeat of modern
samba
, boogaloo originated in
New York City
mainly among teenage
Cubans
and
Puerto Ricans
. The style was a fusion of popular
African American
rhythm and blues
(R&B) and
soul music
with
mambo
and
son montuno
, with songs in both
English
and
Spanish
. The
American Bandstand
television program introduced the dance and the music to the
mainstream
American audience.
