In the '60s and '70s, drummer/percussionist Willie Bobo easily crossed over from bop to boogaloo to salsa, influencing musicians like Santana, who recorded a version of Bobo's "Evil Ways." After Bobo died in 1983 at the young age of 49, his son, Eric, discovered unreleased demo tapes that his father had recorded between 1970 and 1976. Lost and Found sees their release 30 years later. With production help from Eric's DJ friend, Mario Caldato Jr., these twelve tracks feature Bobo supported by keyboards, wah-wah guitar, bass, and horns. Longtime Bobo fans will dig these swinging versions of "Broasted or Fried," "Soul Foo Young," and "Ci Ci," with Bobo's zesty, beat-box vocal percussion. Bobo's love for Brazilian music is evident on his heartfelt renditions of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Dindi" and Eumir Deadato's "Little Tear," complete with Bobo's earthy rap/monologue. Bobo doesn't solo that much and personnel information on the band is not provided, but this music still highlights Bobo at his sizzling and syncopated best. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Honkin' on Bobo
This is a nice little album re-produced by Eric Bobo and Mario Caldato, JR. I would actually give it a 4 and 1/2. The music is some serious rump shakin' hard edged latin funk/soul. Some tunes lean to the jazzy side others lean to the latin rock side, no matter which way it leans it has this undlying groove based on Mr. Bobo's legendary percussionary skills. For fans of jazz, funk, and all things latin this album is smokin'!!!
Better late then never !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is vintage Willie Bobo, I am happy that Willie's son and wife finally colloborated to release this music sitting in a closet of the Bobo home. Willie was at his creative best and all I can say is what took so long? In a way, I guess its better because this way we have some fresh music by Guillermo Correa aka Willie Bobo over 20 years after his passing
