Boogaloo Assassins are a 13-piece Latin Soul and Salsa group from Los Angeles, California. A Los Angeles live music favorite since 2008, their independently released 2013 debut album ‘Old Love Dies Hard’ was inspired by the soulful Latin records of the 1960s, and their 7-inch lead single “No No No” took radio and dancehalls around the world by storm. Boogaloo Assassins receive airplay on Los Angeles radio stations like KCRW, KKJZ, KPFK, KPCC, KXLU, and were featured on Giles Peterson’s BBC Radio 6 and received accolades from NPR, Vice, LA Weekly, OC Weekly. In addition, they have won the “Best Latin Band” award at the OC Weekly Music Awards on three occasions.

In 2014, Boogaloo Assassins joined the legendary New York City 1960s-70s Latin label FANIA, and backed two of FANIA’s icons – Joe Bataan and percussionist Roberto Roena – for FANIA’s 50th Anniversary show in Stern Grove Park, San Francisco. 2016 saw the release of the rare 7-inch Boogaloo scorcher “One and Only,” produced by Innovative Leisure recording artist Nick Waterhouse, as well as tour dates in support of Nick Waterhouse.

By 2018, the Boogaloo Assassins single “No No No” struck yet again, creating a sensation in the clubs and on the radio of modern Salsa music’s South American home, Colombia. In 2019, Boogaloo Assassins were invited to perform in Cali and Bogota, Colombia, with 17k+ in attendance at Salsa al Parque, one of Bogota’s premier Salsa festivals and included live coverage on Colombia’s national public television show, Canal Capital. Still a live music favorite, Boogaloo Assassins are performing throughout California with a new LP to be released in 2023.
