The Fania All-Stars is a musical group formed in 1968 as a showcase for the musicians on Fania Records, the leading salsa music record label of the time.
In 1964, Fania Records was founded in New York City by Jerry Masucci, an Italian-American lawyer with a love for Cuban music, and Johnny Pacheco, a flutist, percussionist and bandleader born in the Dominican Republic but raised in the South Bronx who had like minded musical tastes. Masucci later bought out his partner Pacheco from Fania Entertainment Group, Ltd. and was the sole owner until his death in December 1997.

Ramón "Mongo" Santamaría was born April 7, 1917 in Havana, Cuba. Best known as Mongo Santamaria, the Havana-born musician earned a reputation as one of the great Afro-Cuban Latin jazz drummers. He spread the collaborative spirit of the Jazz Era in 1950 when he moved to New York and began playing with Tinto Puente, Cal Tjader, and others. The stage name of Japanese actor Yūsuke Santamaria was inspired by Mongo Santamaria.
His "Afro Blue" became a jazz standard and was popularized as a remake by John Coltrane. Mongo's Jazz Funk remake of Herbie Hancock's 1963 "Watermelon Man" led to his induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1988. He died February 1, 2003.
El Chicano grew out of the burgeoning Latino music scene developing from the streets of East Los Angeles. Originally known as 'The VIP’s' and founded by Freddie Sanchez, El Chicano is the most successful of the L.A. Latino Rock recording artists. Their #10album run from 1970 - 1985 is unrivalled and included classic albums such as Viva Tirado, Revolución, Celebration, El Chicano and Cinco all released thru MCA Records.
