Instrumentation?

Although I am not involved in any bands or know of many groups playing this genre of music lately, in differences with respect to salsa, it includes either clapping or a tambourine which sincopates the measures 1 and 3 wit either a single hit or two quavers (crotchett notes). Organs and marimbas are suitable for this rhythm, and lyrics are similar to the ones found in pregon (montuno call-response) style. 68.205.240.133 19:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Speeding up of boogaloo

I altered the final sentence of the history page, as it was very misleading. Before, it could have been interpreted as saying that by speeding up cha cha cha, you can "recreate" the boogaloo sound, which of course is not the case. Rather they speed up both cha cha cha and boogaloo, or other types of typically slower music, as they like faster music.

Notability

When contributions are removed from articles, the reason is usually that they do not match up to the requirements of WP:Guidelines.

Names of bands, numbers, musicians &c. should not be included unless they meet the WP criteria for Wikipedia:Notability (music). Please read it if in doubt. Note especially the following:

(Musician or group) has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable.

All articles on albums, singles or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

In general, any statement should be verifiable, and self-promotion and product placement are not allowed.

Violation of the guidelines is a sufficient ground for removal of the content in question. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Poularity of Boogaloo

Certainly a section should be devoted to the non-latin offspings of the boogaloo sound in the mid 1960's, inspired by Lee Morgan's jazz hit The Sidewinder, on the Blue Note Records LP of the same name. Besides that label's many knockoffs trying to duplicate that hit, the rhythm and beat were used in Ray Charles' version of One Mint Julip, all those cocktail party scenes in Laugh-In, and even Sweet Charity's Rich Man Frug sequence in 1966. I'm sure there are a lot more notable instances of this comet-like period genre —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.80.254.19 (talk) 21:37, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
