Few groups benefited from the popularity of Latin boogaloo as much as the Joe Cuba Sextet. They had already recorded half a dozen LPs since the early ‘60s but when singer Jimmy Sabater came up with using “beep beep” as a call-and-response hook, the group minted one of the biggest boogaloo hits of all time with “Bang Bang.” The song became a template of sorts for the newly emerging Latin dance style, mixing together vague, non-sequitur English lyrics with an irresistible montuno piano riff. The same formula is heard on the LP’s other big single, “Push Push Push.” Wanted Dead Or Alive isn’t one note though as the Sextet also mixes in jazz mambos, boleros and cha-cha-cha songs to round out the tempos and moods.
