Goin' Latin is a studio jazz album with Latin percussion and style by Ramsey Lewis which was released by Cadet Records in 1967.[3] The album reached No. 2 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart and No. 16 on the Billboard Soul Albums chart.[4][5]
Thom Jurek of Allmusic noted Richard Evans' "arrangements and bottom-heavy soulful sound mix well with Lewis' indulgence in bossa nova, discotheque boogaloo, and Latin soul-lite on this set."[2]
