PETE "MR. BOOGALOO" RODRIGUEZ (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH "EL CONDE") A PUERTO RICAN LIVING IN THE BRONX, WAS CONSIDERED THE PIONEER OF A NEW CULTURAL AND MUSICAL MOVEMENT CALLED BOOGALOO. WHEN RODRIGUEZ RETURNED FROM SERVING IN THE U.S. MARINE CORP IN 1964, HE STARTED "LA MAGNAFICA", HIS FIRST BAND. THE NICKNAME "THE KING OF BOOGALOO" WOULD IDENTIFY HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS CAREER.
