About the bands:

Among the leading lights of the revolución of new salsa, Puerto Rico’s own Orquesta el Macabeo are more than just some punk generation metalheads playing their parents’ music. They are, in fact, a tight, searing, brassy salsa ensemble of high caliber precision and interesting, darkly humorous lyrics sung in an atypical way. A unique combination of traditional salsa dura elements with a garage/punk/pop spirit. Macabeo have releases on a number of labels, including Discos de Hoy, Peace & Rhythm, Vampisoul, Electric Cowbell and others. • https://orquestaelmacabeo.bandcamp.com/

The United States of Boogaloo performs a stew of Spanish-English grooves cooked up from the sonic styling’s of Boogaloo, Punk, Salsa, Rockabilly, Samba, and Puerto Rican Bomba y Plena music. The band delivers percussion-heavy tunes that pulse from a trickster mix of the group's collective upbringing in New Jersey and a deep respect for their Latin American heritage. • https://unitedstatesofboogaloo.bandcamp.com/
