Taking inspiration from Fania greats like Willie Colón, Hector Lavoe, and Celia Cruz, who pushed the boundaries of Latin music this crew has updated the Fania catalogue for the modern dance floor, blending in elements of hip-hop, house, and reggae, making the classic recordings more accessible to a younger audience while retaining their authentic flavor. Join us as the vibrant sounds of 1960’s New York City salsa come to life!
