Fania Records: 60 Years
TBD
In 1964, Fania Records was founded. Its drive, vision, and and impact on the burgeoning Latin music scene in the USA and beyond was incredible. Many regard the first decades of Fania as the golden years of the musical style that was to become known as salsa. This was not without controversy, but the incredible talent and work of the artists under this label deserves recognition.
In Episode 35, I go over several signature songs from Fania that influenced my growth as a salsa DJ.
