Once Fania became
a profitable and recognizable label with bands like Willie Colón, Larry Harlow, and Ray Barretto soaring up the music charts
in New York and bands like Roberto Roena and Bobby Valentín doing the same in Puerto Rico, the Fania All Stars concept was
born. It consisted of the label’s bands leaders, musicians, and vocalists; the joining together of individual accomplished
artists and musicians under one mega band—The Fania All Stars—which was an unprecedented concept in Latin music.
By this time, in 1973, the Fania label had become the most recognized label
in Latin music. What’s more, with the purchase of the Tico-Alegre record label, it added acclaimed stars like Celia
Cruz, Tito Puente, La Lupe, Eddie Palmieri, and many others, to its already strong list of musicians. In August 1974, the Fania All Stars kicked off their Latin American tour
with its debut in Puerto Rico opening the Roberto Clemente Coliseum where Celia Cruz made her official debut with the Fania
All Stars. The result of both concerts was the movie “Salsa” and four albums: Live At Yankee Stadium volumes 1
and 2, Latin Soul Rock, and the movie soundtrack. Emusica, a member of
the World Salsa Federation, is now making available the entire Fania catalogue of songs, remastered! You can now listen to
clips of every song and even purchase just the song you want and dowload it or the entire cd online! This catalogue is constantly
being updated as new releases come out. Many of the songs were played recently at the Orlando Salsa Congress with such great
enthusiasm, that DJ's are requesting the entire catalogue. Be a judge for yourself and go to faniarecords.net today !!!
