It’s easy to see why - deep trombones, fantastic piano solos, great Salsa alongside a couple of Latin Soul gems make for a heady mix that embodies the Salsoul - Salsa meets Soul - movement kickstarted by Joe Bataan. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGhetto Records was Joe Bataan’s way to get over on “The Man” and out of the ‘hood, a bold move by an artist looking for independence and creative control in an industry that had exploited his talents and treated him like chattel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Bataan puts it today, “Ghetto Records was part of my journey, a stepping stone to everything else that I’ve done.
