Latin Soul History

In most cities such as San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles, Houston, Texas, and New York. The African American Audience was the main audiences mostly because they would sing the R&B songs and soul. This was important for new Latino musicians, because “Chicano Rock” had started in the 60’s and had emerged from Blues and Rock’n Roll and blew up in East LA. So when Latin Soul was starting in the 1960’s they had really good bands, such as: Sunny and the Sunglows, Thee Midniters'and more famously, Cannibal and the Headhunters' most of the listeners thought that these groups were African American bands.
