La nascita della Fania nel bagagliaio di un&#8217;auto <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nel 1964 Johnny Pacheco e l&#8217;avvocato Jerry Masucci fondarono la Fania Records. Non avendo soldi per la distribuzione, Pacheco metteva i vinili di <em>Ca\u00f1onazo<\/em> (il primo album del catalogo) nel <strong>bagagliaio della sua auto<\/strong> e guidava di persona da un negozio di dischi all&#8217;altro a New York (soprattutto a El Barrio \/ Spanish Harlem) per venderli direttamente ai negozianti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/65a97df70606be78d0cce5ed\/60b2845f-6de0-4827-bef5-71249ec97208\/Canonazo.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:393px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/span>2. Il &#8220;furto&#8221; di Celia Cruz alla Tico Records <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nei primi anni &#8217;70, la carriera di Celia Cruz era leggermente in stallo con l&#8217;etichetta Tico Records. Pacheco sapeva che la sua voce era perfetta per il formato pi\u00f9 scarno del suo <em>Tumbao<\/em>. Riusc\u00ec a convincerla a registrare un album insieme per la Vaya (sotto-etichetta Fania). Il risultato fu l&#8217;album <em>Celia &amp; Johnny<\/em> (1974). Durante le sessioni di registrazione nacque <em>Quimbara<\/em>: Pacheco sent\u00ec Celia improvvisare quel ritmo e spinse l&#8217;arrangiatore a scriverci la musica attorno in pochissimo tempo, creando uno dei brani pi\u00f9 famosi della storia della musica latina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/65a97df70606be78d0cce5ed\/0d00266c-8be2-4765-90d8-2ff5a269d762\/Celia-Johnny-coverart.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:393px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span><i class=\"fas fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/span>3. L&#8217;origine del termine &#8220;Salsa&#8221; <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sebbene la parola fosse gi\u00e0 usata come esclamazione nei locali, fu proprio Pacheco a decidere di usarla come <strong>etichetta commerciale<\/strong> per unificare sotto un unico nome i vari ritmi cubani e caraibici (mambo, guaracha, chachach\u00e1, son) che si stavano mescolando a New York. In un&#8217;intervista spieg\u00f2 con pragmatismo: <em>&#8220;La musica era la stessa, ma la parola &#8216;Salsa&#8217; la rendeva appetibile ai non latini. Se compri un auto ti dicono che \u00e8 una Chevrolet o una Ford, ma \u00e8 sempre un&#8217;auto.

El nacimiento de la Fania en el maletero de un auto<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En 1964, Johnny Pacheco y el abogado Jerry Masucci fundaron Fania Records. Al no tener dinero para la distribuci\u00f3n, Pacheco met\u00eda los vinilos de <em>Ca\u00f1onazo<\/em> (el primer \u00e1lbum del cat\u00e1logo) en el <strong>maletero de su auto<\/strong> y conduc\u00eda personalmente de una tienda de discos a otra en Nueva York (especialmente en El Barrio \/ Spanish Harlem) para vend\u00e9rselos directamente a los comerciantes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/65a97df70606be78d0cce5ed\/60b2845f-6de0-4827-bef5-71249ec97208\/Canonazo.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:393px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. El &#8220;robo&#8221; de Celia Cruz a Tico Records<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A principios de los a\u00f1os &#8217;70, la carrera de Celia Cruz estaba ligeramente estancada en la discogr\u00e1fica Tico Records. Pacheco sab\u00eda que su voz era perfecta para el formato m\u00e1s austero de su Tumbao. Logr\u00f3 convencerla de grabar un \u00e1lbum juntos para la Vaya (sello subsidiario de Fania). El resultado fue el \u00e1lbum <em>Celia &amp; Johnny<\/em> (1974). Durante las sesiones de grabaci\u00f3n naci\u00f3 <em>Quimbara<\/em>: Pacheco escuch\u00f3 a Celia improvisar ese ritmo y presion\u00f3 al arreglista para que compusiera la m\u00fasica a su alrededor en muy poco tiempo, creando uno de los temas m\u00e1s famosos de la historia de la m\u00fasica latina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.squarespace-cdn.com\/content\/v1\/65a97df70606be78d0cce5ed\/0d00266c-8be2-4765-90d8-2ff5a269d762\/Celia-Johnny-coverart.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:393px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. El origen del t\u00e9rmino &#8220;Salsa&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aunque la palabra ya se usaba como exclamaci\u00f3n en los locales, fue precisamente Pacheco quien decidi\u00f3 utilizarla como <strong>etiqueta comercial<\/strong> para unificar bajo un solo nombre los distintos ritmos cubanos y caribe\u00f1os (mambo, guaracha, chachach\u00e1, son) que se estaban mezclando en Nueva York. En una entrevista lo explic\u00f3 con pragmatismo: &#8220;La m\u00fasica era la misma, pero la palabra &#8216;Salsa&#8217; la hac\u00eda atractiva para los no latinos. Si compras un auto te dicen que es un Chevrolet o un Ford, pero sigue siendo un auto. Nosotros tomamos la m\u00fasica caribe\u00f1a y la empaquetamos bajo el nombre de Salsa&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. \u00bfDe d\u00f3nde viene la palabra &#8220;Fania&#8221;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El nacimiento de la palabra FANIA nos lo explica directamente Larry Harlow en una <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lasalsavive.org\/portale\/2006\/07\/15\/intervista-a-larry-harlow\/\">entrevista<\/a> que le hicimos en 2006:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/>\u00abEn el per\u00edodo navide\u00f1o de 1956 fui a Cuba con mi colegio para unas vacaciones de diez d\u00edas, y para m\u00ed fue como ver un Para\u00edso, esta es la verdad; en cada calle se encontraban grupos, tr\u00edos, charangas, trovas, Benny Mor\u00e9 por aqu\u00ed, Arag\u00f3n por all\u00e1, fue una experiencia fant\u00e1stica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuando regresamos a Nueva York decid\u00ed volver a Cuba para estudiar con esos grandes m\u00fasicos las ra\u00edces de la m\u00fasica afrocubana, aunque en 1959, con la llegada al poder de Fidel Castro, todos los estadounidenses fueron obligados a abandonar la isla y as\u00ed tuve que regresar a casa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En aquella \u00e9poca Jerry Masucci estudiaba conmigo en la Universidad de La Habana (Cuba) y enfrente hab\u00eda una cafeter\u00eda (coffee shop) que se llamaba \u201cFania\u201d, donde hab\u00eda un piano ac\u00fastico, un contrabajo, unas congas y otras percusiones, y todos los estudiantes se reun\u00edan all\u00ed para descargar (jam session), y ese nombre se le qued\u00f3 grabado a Jerry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En 1964 yo tocaba en la Feria Mundial de Nueva York con Johnny Pacheco, que buscaba un abogado para abrir una compa\u00f1\u00eda discogr\u00e1fica independiente y poder grabar m\u00fasica diferente, y Pacheco pens\u00f3 en llamar a Jerry Masucci (que era abogado); \u00e9l le prest\u00f3 30.000 d\u00f3lares y as\u00ed naci\u00f3 Fania Records\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El propio Pacheco explic\u00f3 la elecci\u00f3n con pragmatismo: el nombre sonaba bien tanto para el p\u00fablico hispanohablante como para el angl\u00f3fono, y la &#8220;F&#8221; inicial ten\u00eda un sonido fuerte y pegadizo.
