career as a musician reached its peak in 1963, when he joined forces with Jerry Masucci to create Fania Records, of which Pacheco was the CEO, creative director, and musical producer.This was the record label that would set the standard in Latin music and gain unforeseeable celebrity at the international level.Many of these achievements were the work of Johnny Pacheco, who was not only an

any inhibitions and propels you to the dance floor regardless of your dancing skills or retention of lyrics.Quimbara, perhaps the most widely covered on this recording is a showcase of vocal dexterity and virtuosity.Celia Cruz skillfully sails above an intimidating rhythm section filled by equal parts extraordinary musicianship and superegos; a piece of cake for her.Listening to this maiden call by Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco you can feel the camaraderie and unabated pleasure these artists shared while recording alongside this unique and wonderful sonera during a very special moment in recording history.Celia rose early on in her long career to the very summit of her craft.Los Compadres, Tito Puente, Ismael Rivera, Abelardo Barroso, Olga Guillot, and Roberto Faz among many more, she was able to transcend each one as well as the era in which they triumphed.Blades, Ismael Miranda, Oscar De Leon, Willy Chirino, Albita, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Ismael Quintana, Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez, Adalberto Santiago, Bobby Cruz, and Cheo Feliciano, each equally in awe of her legendary status and magnanimity.In Luna Vieja, Celia again demonstrates to perhaps a new following of fans that she was equally adept at boleros as she was at guarachas, bombas, and rumbas.Toro Matari, El Tumbao y Celia, a favorite of mine because of the way it builds into a pitch of soneo vocalization rooted en la harmonia del blanco con el ritmo del negro.There is not a single song on this audio CD that will let you down and in fact if you learn to listen and appreciate the artistry from both vocalist and musicians alike, you will come to agree that this is one of the best recordings ever made by Latin music artists.Throughout all the songs on this recording you feel Cuba down to the cobblestones of La Habana as well as the rhythmic blends and arrangements of New York City, Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo.Under Johnny Pacheco's musical husbandry, a new vintage of legendary performer is delivered to listeners new and old alike.Was this review helpful to you?This music dances, cooks, and puts you in a happy place.This is one of Celia Cruz's best, Johnny Pacheco's groove plus Celia's voice,

pretty darn good too.But there is much more to this video.Fania at that time amassed an impressive array of top musical talent.Ray Barreto playing a gripping solo on the conga.Johnny Pachecho spinning around the stage like a maniac, playing the flute.An awesome rendition of the salsa anthem 'Ponte Duro'.That, by itself, is well worth the cost of this video.This is a truly historic performance.Was
