¡Babaloo!

The eclectic act Babaloo was formed in 1994 by the extended members of a quasi-communal living arrangement in Boston, Massachusetts. Describing their music as "punk mambo" and "hardcore juju," the septet, led by a vocalist dubbed Presidente Al Dente (who also contributes musically on kazoo and maracas) combines samba, reggae, and ska (among other genres). Rounding out the group is Magik La'Zik Chillem, La Anguila, Pongo Jankowitz, Peter Pants (2), El Plenero De Pepino, and Slim Goodbody (2).
