Fania All Stars - Guasasa flac album

In 1964, Fania Records was founded in New York City by Jerry Masucci, an Italian-American lawyer with a love for Latin melodies, and Johnny Pacheco, a composer and bandleader born in the Dominican Republic. Masucci later bought out his partner Pacheco from Fania Entertainment Group Ltd. and was the sole owner until his death in December 1997.

It features their rhythm section comprised of: Johnny Pacheco, Ray Barretto, Bobby Valentín, Roberto Roena, Nicky Marrero and virtuoso pianist Papo Lucca. Clearly intended as a Latin jazz set, this album actually bears a more dance-oriented style (as in instrumental salsa, so to speak) as opposed to this band’s earlier, bolder California Jam date

Guasasa ‎(CD, Album, RE). Sonido Inc. JMCD-660. Guasasa ‎(Cass, Album). Clearly intended as a Latin jazz set, this album actually bears a more dance-oriented style (as in instrumental salsa, so to speak) as opposed to this band’s earlier, bolder California Jam date. The cue for discovering this fact is actually listening to Nicky Marrero’s timbale tuning here.
