Part 2 of the Soul Sides Boogaloo Podcasts looks at the spread of boogaloos from the mid-to-late 1960s, especially how it took off amongst more established Latin artists (many of whom initially dismissed the boogaloo as a passing fad).

*There's one factual error on this Podcast that I wasn't able to correct since I caught it while I'm currently out of town...Barretto's Acid was from 1968, not 1972.
