Lookie Lookie plays vintage Latin Bugalu from the groovy 60s, plus a sprinkling of African jazz styles.
Latin Bugalu is a crossover style created mostly by Puertoriqueños in New York like Joe Cuba, Ricky Ray and George Guzman. Featuring both Spanish and English lyrics, Bugalu brings the Afro-Cuban jazz and folkoric grooves into the rock'n'roll 60s. It's a bit garage-y, easy and fun for dancing even if your hips can't quite keep up with the more manic later salsa styles.
