- Work cat.: The rough guide to boogaloo [SR] p2005:insert (Boogaloo was one of Latin music's shortest-lived trends: it flared into life in the early 1960s and, within a decade ... [was] overtaken by what became known as salsa ... With hindsight, boogaloo was inevitable. Around 1960, the mambo obsession was cooling, and the ... cha-cha-cha was taking its place. New York bandleader Johnny Pacheco ... created a wilder, modern, very New York version called pachanga ... Pachanga was just a kick away from the crossbreed boogaloo -- or Latin soul as it was also known)

Wikipedia description:
Boogaloo or bugalú (also: shing-a-ling, Latin boogaloo, Latin R&B) is a modern jazz genre of Latin music and dance which was popular in the United States in the 1960s. Boogaloo originated in New York City mainly by stateside Cubans and Puerto Ricans with African American music influences. The style was a fusion of popular African American jazz, 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. Pete Rodríguez's "I Like It like That" was a famous boogaloo song. Except for the name, the dance is unrelated to the boogaloo street dance from Oakland, California and the electric boogaloo, a style of dance which developed decades later under the influence of funk music and hip-hop dance.
