1) A Puerto Rico outfit whose album, an amalgam of psychedelia, garage, blues and rock, is well worth investigation. Most of its better moments come on Side One. All vocals are in English except for one cut, Tenura. The album's opener I Got It is quite fast-paced with prominent guitar and keyboards. Love Me Tonight, one of the strongest, is notable for good vocals and pleasing melodic guitar work. Don't Hang Me features lots of heavyish guitar work, but is a little disjointed in places. I Can Always Think Of You, another of the best cuts, features more good guitar work and some quite dramatic piano parts. The side closes with Salsa Friquea. This commences with a climatic keyboard intro, which gives way to bouncy Latin American style rhythms as the song progresses through different stages.
Side Two is not as strong. It opens with Together, which blends lots of guitar / organ interplay. My Life Is Always Going Through Changes applies a similar format, but is a little disjointed in places. I Want To Get There is more of the same, but weaker. Awake features bouncy Latin rhythms and is similar to Salsa Friquea, but becomes tedious in places. The finale Truth And Understanding is another of the album's finer moments. It blends good vocals and melody and there's a pleasing guitar interlude followed by a rhythmic Latin section. The cut ends with a drum solo.
2) A french disco band of brothers José and Carlos Perron together with Djill Bourezak. They had a major hit with the song «Paris Latino» in 1983/1984 in France, Spain, Switzerland and Italy. The next track «Cocoloco» in 1984 could not follow the success. In 2011 a Best-of-CD was released including the 12''-version and special mixes of «Paris Latino». In the US and Canada «Paris Latino» was released as 12'' vinyl including a remix by John Jellybean Benitez.

Joséphine blanche, robe rouge et noire
Danse avec le reflet du miroir
Arrivé direct from Mexico
Don Diego de La Vega, Z comme Zorro
Ça se bouscule dans les couloirs
Les poseurs, les voyeurs, tous ceux qui aiment s'faire voir
Tout le monde est là, même ceux qu'on n'attend pas
La playmate du mois, Miss Cha-Cha-Cha
Oh, Miss Cha-Cha-Cha, Miss Cha-Cha-Cha
Miss Cha-Cha-Cha, que linda esta
Au milieu de tout ça, il y a nous, il y a moi
And don't forget me, I'm doctor B
Verre sur verre de Cuba Libre
Don't forget me, I'm doctor B
Verre sur verre de Cuba Libre (Doctor B, huh, that's me)

"Paris Latino" is a song by Bandolero that celebrates the vibrant and hedonistic nightlife of the French capital. The lyrics consist of short and repetitive phrases that praise the city's Latino scene and its colorful characters, such as Joséphine and Don Diego de La Vega. The chorus repeats the catchy refrain "Que bueno que rico que lindo/Paris Latino" multiple times, giving the song a festive and hypnotic feel.
The song opens with a description of Joséphine, dressed in a black and red dress, dancing in front of a mirror. She is joined by a crowd of people who are eager to see and be seen. Among them are the bandoleros, who rock and shock the party-goers with their music and antics. Doctor B, in particular, seems to be a flamboyant and charismatic presence, urging the ladies to be careful around him.
As the night progresses, the scene becomes more chaotic and wild. The voyeurs and poseurs are pushed aside by the revelers, who enjoy their drinks and cigarettes amidst the sweet scent of Miss Cha Cha Cha. The song ends with a call to party, with the band promising to make the audience move and groove to their "hot" beats.
Overall, "Paris Latino" celebrates the freedom and energy of youth culture, especially as it is expressed through music and dance. Its lyrics conjure up a vivid image of a bustling and colorful world that encourages people to let go of their inhibitions and enjoy the moment.

It's the band's time to showcase their skills by rapping in the show shack room, and even though they're a new band, they're impressively divine
No time for rock n' roll

And rock don't roll
We got some hot that'll hit the spot
Something brand new but not made of rock
There's no time for traditional rock n' roll, and instead, they have something new and hot that will still be enjoyable
We're gonna rock the East, we're gonna rock the West
We're gonna rock the girls and put them to the test
And we'll rock you, but don't forget
That what we make is designed to be best
Get down!
The band plans to rock everyone, girls included, by putting their skills to the test, and they remind everyone that they always strive to be the best
