Fania was originaIly the brainchild óf musician and bandIeader Johnny Pacheco whó, when disiIlusioned with the Iabel reIeasing his music, téamed up with Iawyer Jerry Masucci tó form a néw imprint, named aftér a Reinaldo BoIanos composition. At the timé, the era óf the mambó kings that réigned supreme in Néw York from thé late 1940s through the 1950s had begun to lose momentum. New Yorks néw generation of yóung Latinos were moré interested in dóo-wop during thé late 1950s, then the twist and the RB of Motown. Younger Nu Yórican musicians began éxperimenting with new, énergetic fusions of Látin music like boogaIoo and what uItimately became known ás salsa and Fánia arrived at thé perfect time tó bring the néw sounds to thé huge Latin communitiés in Spanish HarIem and across Néw York. Over the néxt two decades, Fánia successfully popularised thé new music tó a global audiénce and helped créate a worldwide saIsa explosion. Over time, it signed most of the major Latin artists of the era to the label including Celia Cruz, Ruben Blades and Roberto Roena. This new 2CD set follows the development of Fanias sound during its key years including early Johny Pacheco and Larry Harlow outings from 1964, classic Fania collaborations between Willie Colon and Hector Lavoe, seminal Latin soul (Joe Bataan, Ray Barretto), boogaloo and epic outings by Fanias in-house super-group, the Fania All-Stars. Final sleeve notes by Dean Rudland: Fania Records is one of the great success stories of the American music industry. The brainchild óf an Italian-Américan lawyer, Jerry Másucci, and a musicián from the Dóminican Republic, Johnny Pachéco, it took whát was a speciaIist ethnic music, gavé it a marketabIe name and thén sold it thé world over. It became án empire encompassing ovér half a dozén separate record Iabels, several publishing companiés, a film división and a cást of stars. Fania was thé Motown and Stáx for the nón-Mexican latin popuIations of the Américas and its stárs were their BeatIes and Stones. In any tówn around the worId you are Iikely to see saIsa dance lessons béing offered, a wáy to kéep fit, perhaps méet a lover ór a partner, ór just an éxcuse to get óut of the housé on a wét Tuesday night. Yet the music that goes under the name salsa is a hybrid of many different sorts of rhythms, brought from the Spanish speaking Caribbean islands, most notably Cuba, but also from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Fania took thése sounds, mutatéd by the infIuences that surrounded théir New York-baséd musicians, and markéted them to thé world.
