April 25 2012
The year was 1969. Salsa pioneer Eddie Palmieri had just succumbed to the commercial trend of the moment and released Champagne, perhaps the best of all boogaloo albums. But change was in the air. It was time to bring Latin music closer to political reflection and social conscience. It was time to record Justicia - a salsa classic that Fania is now re-releasing with remastered sound and in-depth liner notes.

The years between the late '60s and the mid-'70s were a very special time for the neighborhood of New York known as the Spanish Harlem, or El Barrio. A new generation of American musicians, most of them of Puerto Rican origin, were influenced by rock, psychedelia, funk, disco, r&b and the tropical formats of the Spanish speaking Caribbean. It was an exciting time for music, and El Barrio was fertile ground for the creation of a new sound: salsa, boogaloo and Latin Soul exploded like a shooting star. The El Barrio Bundle includes a copy of the 4 cd box set, the best-selling NYC Salsa design t-shirt and a commemorative, limited edition poster that features the most influential artwork designs from Fania’s golden era. An amazing set, ideal for dancers and collectors alike.
