Charangas de Cuba y Nueva York (LP, Tico Records, 1956-62)

Great Tico Record compilation. The Bands on this LP are, for the most part of them, the seminal ones whom will wright the most beautiful letters of what Masucci and pacheco will call "Salsa" for their Fania Label. At the moment of the recording of those gems, the term wasn't use yet. But here they are : Ray Barretto, Alfredito Valdes, Johnny Pacheco, Charlie Palmieri, Orquesta Broadway and so on....

Enjoy the great "Pachanga" formation, typical in the end of the fifties, beggining of sixties.The cuban influence is everywhere....

James Stewart ! · Rosendo Ruiz Jr-La jicotea

Excellent compilation du label Tico Record. fondé à New York en 1948 par un fan de son cubain. Le label sera racheté plus tard par Fania. Et justement, on trouve sur ce disque les fondations de ce que Jerry Masucci et Johnny Pacheco (les 2 fondateurs de Fania Records) appelleront plus tard "la Salsa"...et surtout les fondateurs, entre autres Ray Barretto, Alfredito Valdes, Johnny Pacheco, Charlie Palmieri, Orquesta Broadway...Tous dans la formation typique de l'orchestre "charanga" cubain. Un délice pour les initiés...
