	Fania Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fania Records was a New York based record label founded by Johnny Pacheco (a musician) and Jerry Masucci (a lawyer) in 1963.
		In 1968 Pacheco invented a "superband" called Fania All-Stars that brought together the elite of Salsa musicans and singers for joint performances and recording.
		Due to Fania's dominance by the early 1970s, most of the Latin music luminaries of the salsa "boom" of that period came under the umbrella of Fania.

	Article: Jerry Masucci, 62, International Salsa Promoter
		Jerry Masucci, the owner of Fania records and a seminal figure in the founding of New York salsa and its spread to othercountries, died on Sunday in Buenos Aires, his main residence.
		Masucci’s direction was initially hard dance music, and for 10 years its recordings were extraordinarily consistent, comparable to Motown at its peak in popular music or the Blue Note label for jazz.
		Over the last several years he reactivated the label as Nueva Fania, and it was beginning to mine the new Cuban revolution in music, releasing albums by groups including Paulito y Su Elite and Dan Den.

	The Soul of the Barrio: 30 Years of Salsa - KCSalsa.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		It is now 30 years since band leader Johnny Pacheco founded Fania Records as a fledgling Latin record company, contracting the up-and-coming New York dance bands and distributing his records to area stores from the trunk of his car.
		Fania Records, wit a combination of entrepreneurial skill, aggressive marketing, and energetic talent scouting, rode the crest of the socio stylistically musical moment, explicitly linking the fresh, new sound of the New York Latin bands to the buoyant spirit of the barrio.
		To Cubans who knew that many o Johnny Pacheco's hits were simply note-for-note renditions of Cuban records of the 1950s, the use of the rubric "salsa" seemed like an attempt to obscure the music's Cuban origins by capitalizing on the Cold-War quarantine of the island bands and recordings.

		These recordings range from the sublime, like her original version of the double entendre show-stopper Bembe Colora to the ridiculous in her Latinized versions of the Archies' Sugar Sugar and Age of Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In from the play Hair.
		Cruz continued with Fania until the late 1980s, when she joined RMM Records, where she remains as of this date, and finally got the recognition by the general population she deserves, while her recorded output has been somewhat uneven.
		It's nice that these recordings are again available but Fania has the really nasty habit of charging several dollars more for a compact disc, adding no new or undiscovered tracks and scant, if any, liner notes.

	Fania All Stars
		The house band of Fania Records, comprised of the label's bandleaders, top sidemen and vocalists; and whose history represents the rise and promulgation of salsa as a marketing tag for Latin music.
		It therefore had to make a film that would radically say the contrary: that salsa was, in reality, a fundamental part of that pop culture, that it was susceptible to being enjoyed by the majority publics and that it, absolutely, had nothing to do with minority groups and their always repugnant misery.
		Thirty years of Fania Records was commemorated in 1994 by a three city tour (San Juan, Miami and New York) by the reconvened All Stars.

	Dusty Groove America - Latin CD
		During the early 60s, Alegre Records had the genius idea of getting together some of the strongest instrumental talents on the New York scene, and letting them open up in a relaxed studio setting that was quite different than the more tightly-crafted Latin sessions that were the norm for the time.
		And although the group recorded in the studio, they were really at their best in a live setting -- as such recordings perfectly captured the good spirit and sense of spontaneity that brought the players together.
		The set was recorded in New York during the late 60's, and features a great lineup of musicians that includes Paul Griffin on piano, Joe Henderson on tenor, Herbie Hancock on piano, Mongo santamaria on conga, and Bernard Purdie on drums.

	From The Desk Of Nestor Louis - Celia Cruz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Their recordings, 1977's "Only They Could've Made This Album", 1981's "Celia Y Willie", and 1984's "The Winners", came at a period when Fania's "most creative producer" was enjoying success in abnormal proportions thanks to his productions of Hector Lavoe & Ruben Blades.
		In the late 80's, Fania Records without its huge roster of salsa superstars, was a far cry from the "Latin Motown" it was once called.
		And if on the other hand the record turns out not too favorable, she would be in a situation that can be spun into a ‘not even Celia Cruz could've saved this record'.

		Though a major player in the studio, he didn't achieve the notoriety of some other Fania artists, known as the Fania All Stars and which included Mongo Santamaria, Johnny Colon, Willie Bobo, Joe Bataan, Ralph Robles, and Bobby Valentine.
		Two years later, he scored a minor charter with "Soul Je T'aime" with Sylvia Robinson (now there's a duet made in heaven) on Robinson's Vibration label; but its success was modest at number 39 R&B and 99 pop on Billboard.
		In addition to the four Fania albums, he had an obvious hand in Ralfi Pagan Presents Johnny Nelson, which is quite an item among collectors; Low Profile Records also reissued his second Fania album, Ralfi Pagan With Love.

		In 1967, while still only 17 years old, he recorded his first album El Malo, in which he plays the bad boy, using an image of gangster, a little in the manner of certain rappers today.
		The rough sound of the disc, with the slightly dirty low register of the trombones in the brass section, was already characteristic of what salsa would be, to be strictly accurate, 3 or 4 years later.
		He used his contact Pancho Cristal to finally put his foot in the record industry and recording, in 1970, with Pete Rodriguez (not "El Conde", but "El Rey del Boogaloo") in the album "From Panama to New York", in which he composed 9 titles out of the 10 that he sang.
