The record
Title: Willie Bobo - Spanish Grease
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1965, Latin Jazz, Boogaloo Latin Soul, New York City, New York 5/26
Matrix #: V6-8631
Condition: VG++ (LM) | Members: Willie B (34' - 83')
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: Bobo came out of Spanish Harlem’s Latin music world, where percussionists often powered the scene while getting less name recognition than singers or bandleaders.
- Scene Ecology: Spanish Grease sits right where mambo, jazz, soul, and boogaloo were crossing in New York clubs, before Latin funk became a collector category.
- Media Narrative: The album helped frame Bobo as more than a sideman, giving a percussionist-fronted record enough personality to stand with the horn and vocal-led LPs of the era.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
