NEW WAX POETICS: THE SPEED RECORDS STORY

Eddie-Palmieri-300x428.jpeg

My history of the Latin soul label, Speed, is included in the new issue of Wax Poetics. I’ve written on Speed before but never in this complete detail, which includes quotes from a variety of people I interviewed, connected to the label, including Bobby Marin, Bobby Matos and Frankie Nieves.1

Speaking of Latin, UK’s Soundway has put up an awesome, interactive map of regional Colombian music styles.
