Fania Records 1964-1980 - The Original Sound Of Latin New York
(2xCD/2xLP/Digital) Strut Records STRUT078CD/LP, 2011-03-21
Strut is pleased to present the first ever definitive 2CD retrospective of Fania Records, the seminal New York latin label, spanning its influential heyday between its formation in 1964 through to 1980. This new 2CD set follows the development of Fania's 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 Fania's in-house super-group, the Fania All-Stars. The 2CD set is packaged in a thick digipak with a 32-page booklet including a full Fania label history, memorabilia, album artwork and many previously unseen photos from the Fania archive. The 2LP set will be released as a gatefold.
