FANIA RECORDS ARTISTS

Right from start, Fania Records and its subsidiaries exceeded everybody’s expectations. The label was created in 1964. It penetrated the market so successfully and became so popular at the international level that its executives decided to broaden its talent in order to reach an even wider audience. The result? The wildly successful Fania All Stars, a group that brought together several of the label’s most popular artists. This move would further solidify the label’s standing in the international music scene.

The Fania All Stars’ first concert, “Live at the Red Garter,” was a promotional experiment designed solely to test the waters. The all-star cast included Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Ricardo Ray, and Bobby Cruz, and resulted in a live double album.

The experiment couldn’t have been more successful. In 1971, the band revolutionized salsa as a genre with “Fania All Stars at the Cheetah,” a concert that was filmed and recorded live.

In 1973, following a successful tour, the band made its first appearance at Yankee Stadium in New York. The stars performed before countless fans that had caught the fever and were swooning in the presence of consecrated performers of the genre such as Willie Colón, Johnny Pacheco, Bobby Valentín, Ray Barretto, and Mongo Santamaría.

This concert, too, was filmed and recorded live, and set the standard in the music industry.

The All Stars were on fertile soil, and they wasted no time in reaping the benefits. In 1974, they appeared live at the Statu Hai stadium in Kinshasa, Zaire, which was the scene of the movie “Fania All Stars Live in Africa.” In 1975, the band returned to Yankee Stadium, this time with such famous names as Celia Cruz, Héctor Lavoe, Justo Betancourt, Ismael Quintana, Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Mirando, Pete “El Conde” Rodríguez, Bobby Cruz, and Santos Colón.

One after the other, the band continued performing in concerts that were just as successful and multitudinous: “Salsa,” “Live,” “Best Of,” "Live in Japan" (1976), and "Tribute to Tito Rodríguez,” which marked Rubén Blades’ first performance with the All Stars.

To properly celebrate the Fania All Stars’ 20th birthday and Fania Records’ 30th, the label has re-released two concerts: “Live in Africa” and “Live in Japan,” which propelled a successful tour across five continents and showed the identity of a created family that has spread its social, musical, and cultural message throughout the world.

FANIA ALL STARS - BEST OF FANIA ALL STARS LIVE (2CD-2006)

An amazing document of the live genius of the Fania All Stars -- one that tracks the group`s evolution from their first small club recordings in the Village, to later moments of power and pride at Yankee Stadium and overseas! As is well known, the group was made up of some of the hottest Latin players of its generation -- including Ray Barretto, Willie Colon, Larry Harlow, Johnny Pacheco, Louie Ramirez, and many others -- all coming together with a sense of camaraderie and good will that would be unimaginable for groups in soul or rock music. 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. This nicely overstuffed set features a total of 16 long numbers pulled from the group`s recordings at The Red Garter, The Cheetah, Yankee Stadium, and their 1974 tour of Africa.

Featuring: Ray Barretto, Willie Colon, Larry Harlow, Monguito, Johnny Pacheco, Bobby Quesada, Louie Ramirez, Ralph Robles, Bobby Valentin, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Ricardo Ray, Bobby Cruz, Jimmy Sabater, Hector Lavoe, Ray Maldonado, Ralph Marzán, Ismael Miranda, Bobby Rodriguez, José Rodriguez, Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez, Barry Rodgers, Adalberto Santiago, Oreste Vilato, Santos Colón, José "Cheo" Feliciano, Renaldo Jorge, Roberto Rodriguez, Larry Spencer, Yomo Toro, Hector Zarzuela, Nicky Marrero, Justo Betancourt, Celia Cruz, Mongo Santamaria, Lewis Kahn, Billy Cobham, Manu Dibango, Jorge "Malo" Santana.
