In 2006, Osman Jr wanted to bring Nuyorican salsa sound into funk universe like it was done during the 70’s decade, wanting to break the academic rules and perpetuate the meeting between the latin clave and the funky beat. He reunited the best friends musicians, around him to build that real band project. The common link was their love for Jazz, Latin Funk, Soul & Hip Hop music. 

Composed collectively, this album mixes up Latin, Soul, Hip-Hop, Funk, modern Jazz, or Psychedelic Boogaloo, with a percussive and strong vocal section, sung in spanish, english, creole, yoruba and french, for the first time in their repertoire, with the easy to sing and danceMadame Shingaling. SETENTA, The Latin Soul Band from Paris, spreads love, peace and positive live energy all over the world, from “Paris to Nueva York”.

Joe BATAAN, one of the first recruits of the legendary team FANIA Records and co- founder of the Salsoul label, is an influence assumed by Setenta. And it’s specifically this filiation recognized by the Latin Soul Godfather himself, when they met in NEW YORK, in summer 2014, which inspired him to offer the band to accompany him on his shows in France and Europe. That is why the Parisian New Latin Soul Band just as naturally invited Joe BATAAN to headback to the recording studio to engrave this exciting encounter on wax.
