By the mid 70s, the New York Latin scene was boomin` so large it could easily fill venues like Yankee Stadium — as you`ll hear on this excellent live set from the Fania All-Stars, a monster record that easily ranks with the best live Latin sides of the time — like Eddie Palmieri at Sing Sing, the Tico-Alegre All Stars at Carnegie Hall, or Mongo Santamaria at Yankee Stadium! Tracks are nice and long — a real mix of soul and Latin, with slight funk and electric touches — and players include Ray Barretto, Willie Colon, Bobby Valentin, Mongo Santamaria, Ricardo Ray, and Roberto Roena. Vocals are by a host of singers that include Santos Colon, Hector Lavoe, Ismael Rivera, and Celia Cruz.
