Notes
On August 26, 1971, the Fania All-Stars electrified the Cheetah Club in New York, causing a salsa-induced delirium that not only defined their career, but the salsa genre itself. This live recording captures that unforgettable performance, featuring fiery grooves on “Anacaona (feat. Cheo Feliciano),” and “Qu¡tate T£,” with vocals by Hector Lavoe and other salsa legends. This 50th Anniversary Edition boasts all-analog mastering from the original tapes by Kevin Gray on 180-gram vinyl.
