“The founders of Fania Records didn’t set out to change the course of Latin music, but that’s just what they did. Fania signed artists such as Celia Cruz, Ruben Blades and Ray Barretto, who would eventually usher in the golden age of salsa.

The label went out of business in the late 1970s, and the records have since become hard-to-find collector’s items. Now, a Miami-based record label is remastering and reissuing that music.”
