message: Although I am not involved in any bands or know of many groups playing this genre of music lately, in differences with respect to salsa, it includes either clapping or a tambourine which sincopates  the measures 1 and 3 wit either a single hit or two quavers (crotchett notes). Organs and marimbas are suitable for this rhythm, and  lyrics are similar to the ones found in pregon (montuno call-response) style.

thread_title: Conformity with Spanish article

message: Support MERGE: It seems clear to me that there should not be two pages dealing with the same topic. Since boogaloo is a fusion between pre-salsa Cuban and soul music, the two components should not be split. Looking at the content, the two pages are essentially the same. And none of the reference books makes such a distinction. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Need for merger 

message: When contributions are removed from articles, the reason is usually that they do not match up to the requirements of WP:Guidelines.
Names of bands, numbers, musicians &c. should not be included unless they meet the WP criteria for  Wikipedia:Notability (music). Please read it if in doubt. Note especially the following:
:(Musician or group) has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable.
:All articles on albums, singles or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. 
In general, any statement should be verifiable, and self-promotion and product placement are not allowed.
Violation of the guidelines is a sufficient ground for removal of the content in question. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability 

message: :Certainly a section should be devoted to the non-latin offspings of the boogaloo sound in the mid 1960's, inspired by Lee Morgan's jazz hit The Sidewinder, on the Blue Note Records LP of the same name.  Besides that label's many knockoffs trying to duplicate that hit, the rhythm and beat were used in Ray Charles' version of One Mint Julip, all those cocktail party scenes in Laugh-In, and even Sweet Charity's Rich Man Frug sequence in 1966.  I'm sure there are a lot more notable instances of this comet-like period genre  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.80.254.19 (talk) 21:37, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Popularity of Boogaloo

message: I've never heard of a musical genre called "boogaloo." The cited references are very reliable, but no pages are cited for two of the three. Note that the books are not widely disseminated or anything like bestsellers. I recall some ersatz dance forms called boogaloo, but American, and especially African-American, culture are replete with dance crazes that aren't chronicled in Wikipedia. Will someone who owns these books see if they support this article? If they don't let's relieve Wikipedia of this dubious "resource." Tapered (talk) 05:03, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: To add to article

message: Hi - I’m drafting an article that highlights the Boogaloo as a social dance in the African American community (done in Chicago) and which later became a street dance developed in Oakland from 1965 to 1977. Any ideas how I should relate this article or distinguish the difference from the Latin genre and NY scene? Thank you! PatisOne (talk) 14:13, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
