Johnny Pacheco & José Fajardo — "Pacheco Y Fajardo"

$15.00

Johnny Pacheco built Fania on the charanga sound. This is him going straight to the source. José Fajardo was one of Cuba's defining charanga flautists before the revolution pushed him to New York, where his style helped shape the pachanga craze Pacheco rode to found Fania Records in 1964. Here the two flutists trade solos over a set that pushes past straight charanga into cumbia and salsa — "Cumbias Con Salsa" says it right in the title. This 1982 Venezuelan pressing carries a lineup stacked with Fania regulars: Sonny Bravo on piano, Eddie Montalvo on congas, Adalberto Santiago on backing vocals.
