Hey Sister

The son of Latin music giant Mongo Santamaria, Monguito Santamaria enjoyed a short but memorable career in the Latin soul era of the mid/late 1960s. The second of three LPs he recorded with Fania, Hey Sister was the most memorable of the trio, riding on the strength of now-classic boogaloo tracks such as the aptly named “Groovetime” and the lively title track that clearly borrows its opening riff from the Beatles’ “Day Tripper.”
