Encanto Tropical 44 - Fania 60th Anniversary Tribute Session (Part 2)

AFTER-SHOW POST | PRE-SHOW POST

Episode 44 can be replayed at the bottom of this page (26 tracks, 2:00:57).

A tribute session celebrating the 60th anniversary of Fania Records was posted earlier this year (Episode 35). Despite its length of move than 2 hours, I felt I had not included enough songs. Besides, there were so many outtakes from my original shortlist of tunes. Doing a second tribute thus seemed absolutely necessary. Here it is: Part 2. See the pre-broadcast post for context.

The list of artists spans several labels in the Fania universe, as it was a parent company with sub-labels it either established or acquired, such as Alegre, Cotique, Tico, International, and Vaya. Note that some of the artists featured here were not exclusively on Fania, but the songs selected for the show are from the Fania discography.
