Joe Bataan, of African American and Filipino descent, grew up in Latin Harlem, where he began his career, drawing on his personal experiences from the streets.
With his natural gift for music and self-taught abilities on the piano, he got his first band together in 1965. He had his first hit, “Gypsy Woman,” on the Fania Records label in 1967. The song took the New York Latin market by storm, despite the fact that the lyrics were in English.
A distinguished composer and the producer of the vast majority of his albums, Joe brought to his discography a series of innovations, such as the fusion of rhythms influenced by Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music. He made a name for himself as the driving force of Latin soul and pop soul. He also anticipated disco, a genre he would later influence, and one that would influence the new tendencies of bands and orchestras.
Joe Bataan was not only able to carve out a place of honor on the charts in the US and Latin America; he also took the European market by storm. (FANIA's website notes)

Created in 2006, SETENTA, the Latin Soul Band from Paris, spreads a unique mix over the world scene. After sparkling debuts with their first albums “Funky Tumbao” (Hot Casa Records/Fat Beats 2010), "Latin Piece Of Soul" (Hot Casa Records/The Pusher 2013), "Paris to Nueva York" (Latin Big Note/The Pusher 2016), following successful live experiences and strong links developed with New York and Joe BATAAN, the latin soul legend, the french seven-piece combo is back in 2018 with his modern definition of latin music. Composed and arranged collectively, a new opus mixes up Latin, Funk, Pop and Jazz, with the same percussive and strong vocal section, sung in Spanish, English, Creole and Yoruba, cf. their arrangement of the traditionnal Rezo a Obatala. They also salute the great Camilo Azuquita with a rework of "Guajiro Bacan" (Ramon "Saoco" Perez), which they bring as a pledge of allegiance to the Latin Soul genre.
SETENTA spreads love, peace and positive energy all over the world, breaking rules and claiming "We Latin Like That".

Following their oustanding live collaboration at "Théâtre Les Etoiles" in Paris, and "Jazz Mix de Vienne" in June 2015, they invite Joe BATAAN, the latin soul legend, to record "My Rainbow", a rare bolero, soulful, with spiritual lyrics written by the godfather, a new classic ballad for the history. Then Joe Bataan meets SETENTA again in Stockholm (Selma), Paris (FGO), London (Ronnie Scott), NYC (summer stage), Sète (Théâtre de la mer in France) ... and in the Arènes of TEMPO LATINO (France) where this extract is filmed in 2018.
