50th Anniversary of Fania All Stars - Live at Yankee Stadium

Today we celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the Fania All Stars Live at Yankee Stadium concert. Celebrate this moment in Latin music history with us by entering our special Live At Yankee Stadium GIVEAWAY: https://found.ee/live-at-yankee-giveaway-toneden The night of August 24th, 1973, forty-thousand fans poured into the Yankee Stadium for an unforgettable night. The crowd became so frenzied that they broke the security barrier and the concert ended early. Later that year, the Fania All Stars resumed the show at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in Puerto Rico, resulting in two momentous nights. The performances were appropriately epic, from Celia Cruz’s 12-minute long “Bemba Colorá” to Héctor Lavoe’s moving “Mi Gente” — a Johnny Pacheco composition — and the warmth in Ismael Miranda’s delivery throughout the jazzy “Qué Rico Suena Mi Tambor.” The historic concerts were recorded and released as Live at Yankee Stadium Volume 1 & 2. This album earned the Fania All Stars their first Grammy nomination and in 2003, the Library of Congress named this double album to their National Recording Registry. #faniaallstars #liveatyankeestadium *Sígue/Follow Fania Records* Facebook: https://found.ee/faniarecordsFB Instagram: https://found.ee/faniarecordsIG YouTube: https://found.ee/fania-subscribe-yt-lat Twitter: https://found.ee/faniarecordsTwitter TikTok: https://found.ee/faniarecordsTikTok Newsletter: https://found.ee/fania-subscribe-newsletter-lat *About Fania Records* Fania’s master recording catalog is the definitive home for genres such as Latin big band, Afro-Cuban jazz, boogaloo, salsa and Latin R&B and includes artistic giants such as Celia Cruz, Willie Colón, Héctor Lavoe and Rubén Blades. With the creation of the international supergroup known as the Fania All-Stars, the label’s signature musical style became known as the “Fania Sound.” Fania’s rich master catalog also includes the Pete Rodriguez’s boogaloo classic “I Like It Like That,” currently sampled by Cardi B in her #1 hit “I Like It.” Additionally, three Fania recordings, Celia & Johnny by Celia Cruz and Johnny Pacheco, Azucar Pa’ Ti by Eddie Palmieri and Live at Yankee Stadium by the Fania All-Stars, appear in the National Recording Registry, a list of sound recordings that “are culturally, historically or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.”
