Manny Corchado should be a household name for all boogaloo fans. His classic track "Pow-Wow" is one of the most sought-after singles among collectors and DJs -- not just for its A-side, but also for the absolute dance floor bomb hidden on its B-side: "Chicken and Booze." This instrumental recording features an irresistible rhythm section that could practically serve as the definition of the boogaloo genre itself. On the B-side of this single comes another version of the same song -- this time re-titled "Aguardiente y Pollo" in Spanish -- performed by Nelson y sus Estrellas. The tropical and salsa orchestra, founded in Venezuela by pianist, composer, and bandleader Nelson González Rojas, keeps the same punch and dance-driven focus as Corchado's version, but adds more melodic and sophisticated arrangements.
