The King of Latin R&B & Soul
Mr. New York!, Joe Bataan heads his way back to the Bay Area on Part 3 of his West Coast / Japan tour Saturday, June 12th at the Avalon Night Club in Santa Clara. San Jose Recording Artist, Kool Katz Band.

Kool Katz have had the priviledge to be the opening act and back-up band for Joe Bataan once at the Beautiful Hearbst Theatre in San Francisco, The Bumbershoot in Seattle, Avalon Night Club, and once again Joe Bataan and the Kool Katz reunite at the Avalon Night Club!

This is not only an exciting opportunity but also great news to the group because Joe Bataan is also going to be featured on the Kool Katz Band's upcoming CD entitled Kool Katz "For All That I Am" due out this summer. The title track "For All That I Am" was written especially for Joe.

When Art and Kelly met him several years ago, Joe was performing on stage at a park in LA. Before he sang the "Our Father" song, he told the audience a special story about his life and he talked about how he gave his life to the Lord and that his mission is to continue spreading the Word throughout the WORLD!

Bataan's Message:
"I guess I had to do a little work with God," he explains. "I had a little scare, maybe four or five years ago, with a touch of diabetes. It was diagnosed wrong, and I went through all this trauma. They gave me up for being gone. I think God reached down and said, 'Look, Joe. Stop running away from me. I'm going to give you another chance, but I want you to do something with your life, not just sing. You gotta take on and send a message.' So, that's what I've been doing the last four years."

That day, Kelly "Lead Vocalist" of the Kool Katz was so inspired by his story that she decided to write Joe Bataan a song especially for him.

To this day, Joe and the Kool Katz have developed a very special relationship and very grateful to have him in their lives.

This is going to be an evet to truly go down in Music History!! You don't want to miss this show.

One of Thee biggest shows of the year…hit Los Angeles and we were very blessed to be a part of it. If you weren'yt there, you missed a great show!!

A personal note about our friend Chico: Written by Kelly Galvan

We remember hooking up with Chico back in the day. Sometime in 2000 sounds about right. The Kool Katz Band had only been in the limelight for around 3 years and our name was hitting all over the Bay Area, hitting so hard that politics from other bands & promotors came into play. Walls were starting to come up and it was hard to trust people who said they were going to help us, so when Chico talked with us, we were a little hesitant and wondered, “Is he another one of those?” Well it turns out, he wasn’t.

Chico was the radio host and writer for the Latin Jazz Club at that time. He told us to check out the site and see what we think, so we did and it turned out to be a very cool site. The Latin Jazz Club had pages with loads of information about the Latin world, community, musicians, and styles. It also had the most amazing collections of Latin music from the US and all around the world, not to mention some beautifully written music reviews by Chico himself! We found out that Chico has a passion for the Latin culture and all styles of Latin music. He especially likes originals and he told us, that’s what he liked about us and our music. We also found out that Chico is a consummate writer. When Chico writes, you can tell he is very sincere. The way he expresses his thoughts on paper about an artist, their music, or anything else is incredible! You can feel every word comes from his heart. When you read his work, you’ll know what we’re talking about. http://www.latinjazzclub.com/latinJazzPlace.html

Chico told us he was going to write a review on the Kool Katz and our music. This was a moment in our lives that we’ll never forget. To this day, we still have the review and every now and then we’ll read it and remember what Chico always said “You Guys Got Something!” That one phrase always sticks in our brains and it reminds us that we are true to our music, our passion, our dream and it gives us hope to never give up no matter what! All the members of the Latin Jazz Club respect Chico. After checking out the site, we believed Chico was sincere and true to his word! From that day, we talked more and more and we too, grew to respect him.


Since meeting Chico, he’s taken us on a wonderful journey, meeting and hanging with some very cool people, performing in his neck of the woods and introducing us to some amazing artists like the Legendary “King of Latin Soul” Joe Bataan. This led to the Kool Katz opening up and being the back-up band for Joe a couple of times. We were fortunate enough to be filmed at one of those shows and its on DVD now. This was The King of Latin Souls' First DVD EVER! To date, its been sold all over the world!! What an AMAZING and AWESOME opportunity, thanks Chico!! Chico also introduced us to his familia Ray & Josie Ramos, hosts of Our Latin Thing radio program at KCSB 91.9 FM in Santa Barbara California. They’ve been playing our tunes ever since! Gracias Guys!! We were very pleased when Chico introduced us to Hector Gonzalez, owner of Rampart Records Group. Now this is a man that's totally straight up and down to the nitty gritty :) http://www.eastlarevue.com/feature.php Chico introduced us to his online radio family at East LA Revue in 2004. It was then that we got to know the Founders and our dear friends Steven and Janie Chavez along with many other members at East LA Revue. Because of this, our music is being heard all over the US not to mention other countries including Europe, Japan, Italy, Australia, Mexico and more! Gracias East LA Revue, WE LOVE YOU!! http://eastlarevue.com/aboutus

Going back to the beginning paragraph of this personal note about Chico and wondering,
“Is he another one of those?” Well let's just say this;

Chico has become one of our true and closest friends. There’s not too many people like him and we are very blessed to have him in our life. We've gotten pretty close that Art and I wrote a song especially for his show at ELAR entitled Gozando with Chico. http://www.myspace.com/gozandowithchico To this day we consider Chico, his wife Terri and their children to be members of our family. We are grateful to you Chico and we thank you for believing in us and what our music is all about. Thank you for giving us the many opportunities to share our music with you and with the world!

We as the Kool Katz “Art & Kelly Galvan” have always believed in our music, our passion and our dream. We’ll forever be grateful to Erik “Chico” Manqueros for also believing in us way...back in the day and for giving us that extra push when we needed it.


Congratulations and Gracias Chico you deserve it buddy!! Love Yah!

Sincerely, your AMIGOS
Art & Kelly Galvan “The Kool Katz”
