Roburt Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Yes Episode 2 was on last night ... all about the 60's (then 70's), with Boogaloo then salsa, lots about Fania & their artists (+ business practices) ... some poor bits (IMO) but lots of great bits too (+ some great music) ... it illustrated how the 60's / 70's Latin music was all inspired by that from the 40's & 50's ... fascinating .. PLUS ... buried in all the footage, a short clip of Pete Terrace & his band performing live on stage ... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Roburt Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) This series (4 x 1hr shows) was made in the US by PBS ... it has it's own Facebook page but there seems little of interest up on there at present ... https://www.facebook.com/LatinoMusicPBS The Fania All Stars & the work of Fania Records got a decent amount of coverage on last nights show on BBC4 (episode 2 of the series) ... the owner of Fania started out hawking LP's around in his old Mercedes car, trying to sell them to grocery store owners up in the Harlem area.
