KING NANDO DIES AT 62
Born Fernando Rivera on May 26, 1945 and known to Latin Fans by his stage name King Nando rose to popularity during the 60s and 70s Boogalu (Boogaloo) trend. King Nando recorded several LPs including “Shing-A-Ling with King Nando, A New King is Born” that included his hit song “Fortuna.” Although never credited, many Latin fans who cherish the classic Boogaloo considers King Nando one of the founding fathers of Boogaloo and Shing-A-Ling.

King Nando and his Orquesta performed at several venues during the Boogaloo craze including The Village Gate and The Beacon Theather. Sadly, the Latin Music Industry lost another great legend. King Nando passed away February 2nd 2008.

Purtroppo un'altra brutta notizia ed un altro grande musicista che ci lascia.
Per chi volesse leggere qualcosa su quel periodo (tra l'altro si parla anche di King Nando) tempo fa nel nostro portale avevamo pubblicato
un articolo tratto da Herencia Latina:

Nooooooooooooooooooo pure lui! :cry:
Avevo scritto di lui qui...praticamente il RE dello Shing A Ling!

Nando era un grande cantante di Doo Wop e R&B e fu uno dei primissimi a latinizzare questi generi,buttando le basi del Boogaloo
e dello Shing A Ling.
Descanse en paz,maestro!
