Vinyl edition to the Fania release! Stock will be very limited!

The project is a marriage between old and new, a fresh take on classic sounds from the Fania archives. Late last year, Fania Records hand-delivered the original multi-tracks in a battered cardboard box to Joe Claussell’s NYC studio. Each track was approached and assembled differently, each on its own terms. As Joe says, "Some songs were edited, some were time-stretched...many parts were re-recorded...some new parts were recorded on top." The first disc features nine classic Fania tunes from Lou Perez, Celia Cruz, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto and more, all re-worked with the Joe Claussell touch!

"I wanted to do a futuristic mix, where stories are being created with soundscapes and tapestries, and segues work as introductions to each story."
