SUMMARY:Joe Bataan
LOCATION:Yerba Buena Center\, 701 Mission Street\, San Francisco\, CA 94103
DESCRIPTION:Festival favorite Joe Bataan \, a Latin music legend since the 
 mid-1960s\, returns to the Gardens for his third performance in the past f
 our years. He made an indelible mark as one of the early stars of Fania Re
 cords with a seductive combination of doo-wop vocals and boogaloo\, one of
  the era’s defining sounds. Born Bataan Nitollano to a Filipino father a
 nd African-American mother and raised in Spanish Harlem\, he is the father
  of the Latin soul sound\, crooning hits like “Gypsy Woman” and “Ord
 inary Guy.” But Bataan never stayed in one groove for long. He went on t
 o expand his sound in the ’70s with his Ghetto Records releases\, co-coi
 ning the apt moniker “salsoul\,” though he adapted to changing current
 s at the end of the decade with forays into disco and hip-hop (scoring the
  early rap hit “Rap-O Clap-O” in 1979). Stepping back from performing 
 in the early ‘80s\, he largely disappeared from the scene while working 
 as a youth counselor in detention facilities. It’s a dramatic story that
  he recounts with humor and searing detail in his 2024 memoir Streetology:
  The Legacy of the Afro-Filipino\, King of Latin Soul . Since returning to
  music in 2005\, he’s reclaimed his crown and is still going strong in h
 is 80s\, a fact made evident by his triumphant YBG Festival performances.\
