Bobby was drawn into New York's club scene and began playing in the vibrant ‘60s beat \/ bohemian Greenwich Village cafes, followed by stints in a wide range of different venues. These included Bronx dance halls and after-hours clubs in \u003cstrong\u003eEl Barrio\u003c\/strong\u003e, through to the elegance of \u003cstrong\u003eCarnegie Hall, Central Park\u003c\/strong\u003e concerts, and off-Broadway theatres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater relocating to Los Angeles, Bobby played an important role in spreading Latin music far and wide. He became an inspiration to many on the \u003cstrong\u003ejazz dance\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eacid jazz \u003c\/strong\u003escenes in the ‘80s \/ '90s where his recordings were picked and played, becoming prized collector items amongst DJs.
