In the mid to late 80’s an alternative rhythmic style was introduced to the dance floors and airwaves; it was the birth and ride of Latin Freestyle. The beats were for the most part a direct derivative of the early 80’s electro beat style popular in New York and beyond pioneered by Afrika Bambata and the Soul Sonic Force and other local talents. The Hispanic community namely of New York and Miami put a new spin on the beats by incorporating melodic vocals and added musical layers.

Let’s take another trip back in time and listen to the sounds of Nuance featuring Vikki Love, Shannon, Connie, Lisa Lisa & The Cult Jam, The Cover Girls, Joyce Sims, Alisha, Company B, and many more.
