REMARKS : SALSA!...A COLLECTOR'S ITEM...ORIGINAL!! In the '70s, Fania Records was often called "the Motown of salsa," and in fact, Fania was every bit as important to salsa as Motown was to soul. Fania's '70s roster boasted some of the decade's biggest names in Afro-Cuban music; so when Fania assembled a band called the Fania All-Stars, you knew that some major-league salseros would be on board. The list of musicians and singers on this live LP, which came out in 1975 and was recorded at Yankee Stadium in New York and Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico, reads like a who's who of '70s salsa -- Ray Barretto, Larry Harlow, Willie Colon, Johnny Pacheco, and Bobby Valentin are among the musicians, and the featured vocalists include Santos Colon on "Soy Guajiro," Ismael Miranda on "Que Rica Suena Mi Tambor, " and Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez on "Pueblo Latino." Meanwhile, Hector Lavoe has some joyful moments on his mega-hit "Mi Gente," and Celia Cruz is in fine form on "Diosa del Ritmo." Live at Yankee Stadium, Vol. 1 documents some historic moments in Afro-Cuban music and is highly recommended to salseros. ~ Alex HendersonRecording information: Coliseo Roberto Clemente, San Juan, Puerto Rico; Yankee Stadium, New York, NY. This album is a combination of two concerts, one at Yankee Stadium and one in Puerto Rico. There is no weak song on this album. The standout is "MI GENTE" which features Hector Lavoe improvising vocals throughout the song. If you are a fan a true NY salsa, this is a must have. Volume 2 is also a must have. Also checkout Fania All-Stars "Live at the Cheetah" volumes 1 and 2. These two albums put the Fania All-Stars on the map! Personnel: Pete "El Conde" Rodríguez, Héctor Lavoe, Ismael Miranda, Justo Betancourt, Santos Colon (vocals); Yomo Toro (cuatro); Ray Maldonado, Victor Paz (trumpet); Barry Rogers, Willie Colón, Lewis Kahn (trombone); Larry Harlow (piano); Ray Barretto (congas); Roberto Roena (bongos, percussion); Nicky Marrero (timbales); Johnny Pacheco (percussion) AND MORE!!!!!.

WEB REMARKS: * " This album do not need any presentation is part of the Salsa History. It was recorded in the best Fania moment." * "Last year i when to my homeland ( PR ) for the 1st time in 100 years... The whole family was all there.What use to be green from air is now covered wih brick and concrete,highways and so on.But i never forgot where i came from. In those old days we ( my uncle Eddie and my Bro.) jamming on some Salsa. I heard this album (100 years ago?) it had Ray,Tito,Hector,Johnny,Willie all OLD school salsa!!!. Anyway, my brother and i went to the mall. I saw a record store i went to the back of the store to look in the all time classic section. After years looking for it then i saw Fania All Stars Live at Yankees Stadium. Now that i have it it still sound as good as,if not better when it first came out!
