DJ LaBoite, founder of the controversial Fuzzanova, was arrested in New York City, Tuesday morning at the request of Cuban authorities who want to question him about allegations of Cigar and Rum smuggling.
LaBoite voluntarily surrendered to police and was put under arrest, police said. He is expected to appear in a New York court later Today
FUZZANOVA HAS BEEN CALLED OFF UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
Flash back to the year 1969, while the rest of the world got to groove + Go-Go in public, South America had to party on the down low. Fuzz guitars were confiscated by the police, mini skirts were condemned by the ultra conservative religious right and lists of local bands and hipster fans were compiled by the CIA and passed to powerful Dictators for prosecution.
Its no surprise that during those years, the rawest garage, the funkiest go-go, the trippiest psychedelic and Bossa Nova soul was produced in the basements of Buenos Aires, the Favelas in Brazil, the heights of Bolivia and Peru, and the jungles in Paraguay.
It's the sickest, fuzziest sound that has inspired FUZZANOVA- the South American Sixties Dance Party- hecho para el freak out!
