Latin Playboys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latin Playboys is a musical group comprised of David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Mitchell Froom and Tchad Blake. They were active in the 1990s.
The band began with a series of demo recordings made by Hidaldo on a home cassette tape 4-track machine. The demos were intended for Hidalgo's main group, Los Lobos, but producer/keyboardist Froom thought the demos were interesting enough on their own to justify a new band. With Los Lobos member Pérez, and Froom's frequent production partner Blake, Latin Playboys was formed.
Latin Playboys was released in 1994 and Dose in 1999. Critic Richie Unterberger[1] described their music as "a twisted and avant-garde take on roots music. Latin Playboys draw from blues, border music, experimental studio trickery, and cinematic sound textures."
