Joe Bataan - Rap-O Clap-O (1979)

"It's known in Egypt, it's known in Rome - Known in Puerto Rico, from home to home". One of the best club groovers recorded by Joe Bataan in the late 70s -- and a track that has a bit more of a disco feel than he's records before, but which still stays firmly in the Latinized Salsoul sound that Bataan helped to forge and name! Joe's performance is great. "Rap-O, Clap-O," is credited as the first rap hit in parts of Europe.
