Louder Than Love (Remastered LP Version)
TKA was a Latin Freestyle trio that was prominent in the 1980s and early 1990s, mainly in New York City and Miami, Florida. Its members were Tony Ortiz, Kevin "Fitzy" Fitzgibbon, and Ralph "Aby" Cruz, later replaced by Angel "Love" Vasquez.
TKA represents their collective initials. Early on, the group's members would state in interviews that the acronym stood for "Total Knowledge in Action," as well. All of TKA's members are of Puerto Rican descent. Many Freestyle fans consider them the kings of that genre, although Kayel downplays this label, having stated, "There are no kings in Freestyle."
Hailing from New York City,Bandon TKA were discovered when they sang at a sweet sixteen party in an East Harlem church in 1984. Record producer and manager Joey Gardner, who attended the party, was impressed with the trio, and, with his help, were signed to Tommy Boy Records. The album Louder Than Insulation Pumping, was released in 1990, accompanied by its first single, "I Won't Give Up on You," and "Louder than Love"
TKA reunited in 2001 and recorded the album "Forever", which was released on November 6, 2001. Of the 12 songs contained on that album, only one was released as a single,"Feel the Music." The album's promotional failure was largely due to Tommy Boy’s faltering relationship with Warner Bros. Records, the result of which was poor sales figures. Angel left the group and was replaced by popular freestyle singer George Lamond. After recording an album entitled TKA Featuring George Lamond, the members of the group disbanded and went their separate ways. The album was never released commercially, and today exists only in the form of a handful of demos that were shopped to a few record companies. But the name TKA, lives on in the hearts and souls of latin freestyle music fans across the world. former frontman Kayel, now billed as K7, who performs the well-known TKA hits in clubs throughout New York City. He is also a DJ at New York's popular dance-music station 103.5 KTU. Although the group parted ways, it is still popular in New York City, Chicago, and Miami, and has had a resurgence of interest, thanks to recent regional Freestyle revivals.

Know your History!
Latin freestyle music is a type of electronic music, Stevie B, TKA, George Lamond, Noel, Sa-Fire, the cult jam, Lisa Lisa, & Expose are notable artist in the genre. Latin freestyle developed primarily in Miami & New York in the mid 80's. Eventually it started trickling into other Hispanic and Latin cities & Italian populations.
Initially Latin freestyle music was a rich blend of vocal styles found in 1970s disco music with the syncopated, synthetic instrumentation of 1980s electro as favored by fans of break dancing. Specifically, Freestyle's true roots is traced back to Soul Sonic Forces "Planet Rock" (1982) and Shannon's "Let the Music Play", which debuted in 1983. It was also influenced by sampling as found in hip hop music (source: Wikipedia.org -latin freestyle).
If you like Latin freestyle music, you are probably also into: new latin hip hop, other 80's music jams, scratching, graffiti art, freestyle mixes and the sort. My focus is that of latin freestyle music from the 80's and 90's.
I am a serious latin freestyle music fan. If you are like me then you will LOVE this collector's DVD of Kings & Queens of Freestyle Vol 1.
