“Dig My Feeling adds yet another dimension to Willie Bobo’s music and legacy. It will entice you to revisit his past recordings and make you marvel at his acumen as a trap drummer, percussionist, vocalist, groove master and visionary.” ~Tomas Peña

Percussionist and bandleader Willie Bobo had a remarkable career that not only reflected his Afro-Caribbean background, but also created a cross-cultural hybrid that still reflects the bi-cultural life of Latinos living in this country. Still, he rarely gets enough credit for his role in the development of bugaloo, Latin jazz, and then Latin soul.

From his start with Tito Puente and Latin big bands to his later career as a major exponent of Latin soul, Willie Bobo innovated constantly. The proof of that lies in the way contemporary club DJs seek out vinyl copies of Bobo's albums from the 1960s and '70s, up until his death in 1983.
