Killer early work by the Fania All
Stars – caught live at the legendary Cheetah club, which was the heart of the New York salsa scene at the
start of the 70s! The album is easily one of the best by the group – and features long tracks that really capture the jamming intensity that occurred on stage when this many great artists were brought together in one space – kind of the "next step" for the older descarga mode put fort at the
start of the 60s, pushed forward into the prouder, more unified Latin scene of the 70s! All
Stars on this date include Ray Barretto, Larry Harlow, Bobby Valentin, Willie Colon, Johnny Pacheco, and others – and titles on this second volume include "Ponte Duro", "Estrellas De Fania", and "Ahora Vengo Yo".
