Joe Bataan is a national treasure. I cannot even begin to express how much of an influence this man was in my musical life. Or, how much he is connected to my childhood growing up in NYC.

[@kimbaez8527]

I love Joe Bataan. Makes me smile listening to his music. I'm from bklyn and it takes me back to the fun times growing up with the block parties and everybody just being free and dancing in the streets.

[@DJPeterPlay]

Mate, I'm from Sheffield, UK via Brighton, Oxford and London I too have great memories of dancing to Joe Bataan tracks at beautiful parties when I was also young and free. I still do free at beautiful parties, but it's only ocassional now sadly - got to ration that shit now I'm in my mid-fifties! Thanks for the tunes Mr Bataan!

[@victorrijos8899]

Gerald Johnson uuuyyyyyyytyttt

[@alheitzer2438]

@@marthatorres4387 I think his 'Boricua' stems from his identifying with the Puerto Rican culture and tradition. After all, he was raised in Spanish Harlem on East 103rd Street. No matter, actually, great performer and person.

Yes I heard that story. Great story

[@pablotorres7436]

Una canción Soul de Curtis Mayfield latinizada fue la carta de presentación para Joe Bataan, que con su "She smokes ha ha!" se refería a una Gypsy Woman que estaba fiu fiu 💃... Fue responsable directo del surgimiento del Latin Soul/Boogaloo en 1966, como la música de moda para los jóvenes latinos de de El Barrio de New York y uno de los primeros músicos, directores y cantantes en firmar para el naciente sello disquero Fania Records... Hace pocos años hubo una oleada de nostalgia por los 'Good 'Ole Days' de los años 60', y Joe Bataan se presentó nada menos que en el Central Park de N. Y... La gente mas joven quería ver lo que no pudo por nacer posteriormente a eso... Bataan no les defraudó en absoluto .... 🗽🎯 5:24
