About the Artist

Fania Records was founded in 1964 by Italian-American Jerry Masucci and multi-talented musician Johnny Pacheco. Fania holds a legendary spot in the history of Latin music, and its catalog includes landmark recordings that have marked and defined the history of Latin music. During its heyday in the 1970s, Fania's roster included virtually every luminary of the genre, among them Johnny Pacheco, Willie Colon, Ruben Blades, Hector Lavoe Celia Cruz, Larry Harlow, and Eddie Palmieri. In addition, the label also created the fabled Fania All-Stars, a kind of all star super band that took salsa music to the world.

Thirty original Fania productions will be available for purchase this March 2006. Each tune has been re-mastered from its original mixed tape and has been re-packaged with extensive liner notes. All productions will feature the original cover designs as well as additional pictures and images. Since the days the Fania originals were recorded, analog and digital technology has greatly improved. Today's mastering engineers can bring out musicality with great detail and in a way that was unachievable in the past. Relive the magic of salsa by adding these newly restored classics to your collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Album from a Lesser Known Group, November 19, 2009

The Lebron Brothers definitely hit it big with this album, which features excellent musicianship and compositions. My personal favorites are "Tu Llegaste A Mi Vida", "Regresa A Mi", and "Salsa Y Control". The first two are excellent boleros that express some of the more powerful emotions of love. "Salsa Y Control" is the classic groove that embodies the swing and good feelings of salsa music. Despite the lack of recognition that the Lebron Brothers received because of being in the shadow of the more popular Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe, and others, they are nonetheless a group of excellent performers and I highly recommend this album to those seeking some of the lesser known artists under the Fania label.
