killer latin soul & boogaloo

One of the most amazing label of the 60-70s era was FANIA, the legendary latin label from New York. The story of Fania is the story of Jerry Masucci and Johnny Pacheco, who defined the FANIA touch through from late 60s until late 70s.
To me, the best from FANIA label are the LATIN SOUL and BOOGALOO albums/tracks, and there are a lot! The list would be too long to mention here, but if you are not a record digger FANIA has recently re-issued a few killer compilations that will do the job for you.

my contribution to the revival/re-issue of the FANIA catalog is this great compilation "Our latin thing (vol.1 sampler)" that gather ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED straight from the vibrant 70s Spanish harlem.

I strongly recommend all FANIA re-issues, in particular their amazing compilations and mixes

these "El barrio" compilations will hook you to boogaloo and latin soul for the rest of your days!

People : this Dj Format mix is just awesome. Dj Format is a Hip-Hop Dj, and he draws the best from the Boogaloo and latin beats here, the mixing of tracks give a superb perspective to the tracks, don't miss it !!!

Great mix, more salsa than the others in the same serie


the FANIA LEGENDARY INDEPENDENT LABEL
embodies what music label should all be : uncompromising and faithful to a culture, not commercially driven and decontextualized as most music rubbish now served.
