Mr Bongo presents this amazing 2CD collection of classic originals from New York's famous Fania label and their first ever brilliant remixes. Founded in 1964 in the boroughs and inner city barrios of New York City, the Fania label released many landmark recordings that transcended the boundaries of traditional Latin music and set the path for the genres of salsa, boogalu, Latin R&B, and afro-Cuban jazz. Disc one contains hit after hit of original latin/salsa magic with disc two featuring stunning remixes of these Fania classics by such contemporary heavyweights as Gilles Peterson & Sinbad, DJ Format, Louie Vega, Bugz in the Attic, 4 Hero and many, many more. Many of the remixes featured are now highly sought after and sold-out 12" singles, including DJ Format's storming mix of the Dave Cortez track "Happy Soul With A Hook".
