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.

“heaven hear me” spirits from heaven give us direction dripping tears of love as i search inside my soul clouds come blocking the sun i look inside to find my sunshine seeds of spirits grow in time i love that we can be kind.
