The Moon People — aka Los Astronautas — were a Latin Soul studio band who played behind some of the other killer recordings on the Speed Label.

They’re best known for their sock-boogaloo instrumental “Land Of Love” — a stone jammer which kicks off the album — and their forte is blending together Latin rhythms, soul instrumentation, and kind of a mod 60s easy production style, handled here by maestro Morty Craft.
