Fania Records at 50
New York City is home to the earthshaking Latin dance music known as salsa. From the mid-1960s through the 1980s, Fania Records released many of the landmark albums of the era, creating a salsa boom that reverberated around the world. In 2014, Fania celebrated 50 years in the business; and to celebrate, we dug into the label\u2019s history. We\u2019ll hear from some of the principal players, including Aurora Flores, Nicky Marrero and Larry \u201cEl Judio Maravilloso\u201d Harlow, and tell a few Afropop-centric stories along the way. \n\nProduced by Morgan Greenstreet.\n\nFollow Afropop Worldwide on Facebook at www.facebook.com/afropop, on Instagram @afropopworldwide and on Twitter @afropopww.\n\nSubscribe to the Afropop Worldwide newsletter at www.afropop.org/newsletter/\n\nAPWW #696\n\nDistributed 9/14/2017
