Info zu Live At Yankee Stadium Vol. 1 (Remastered 2025)

Salsa ist ein lateinamerikanisches Genre, das in den 1960ern in den USA als Mischform mehrerer Stile aus dem karibischen Raum entstand. Enorme Popularität erlangte Salsa in den Siebzigern durch die Aktivitäten des Labels Fania. Genau genommen war es Izzy Sanabria, der Promoter des 1963 in New York gegründeten Unternehmens, der dem Salsa-Phänomen durch eine extensive Vermarktung des Musikstils in Presse, Funk und Fernsehen zum internationalen Durchbruch verhalf und Fania den Ruf »Motown of Salsa« einbrachte. Eine nicht unerhebliche Rolle spielte dabei die 1968 etablierte Hausband, die sich aus den wichtigsten Musikern des Labels zusammensetzte. Sie gaben in den 1970ern in New York und auf internationalen Tourneen zahlreiche Konzerte mit Volksfestcharakter, welche die Grundlage für mehrere Schallplatten und den Salsa-Film »Nuestra Cosa Latina« bildeten. 1972 traten die Fania All Stars zum Beispiel im Central Park bei einem freien Open-Air-Konzert vor 50.000 Zuschauern auf, ein Jahr später im ausverkauften Yankee Stadium in der Bronx. Aufnahmen dieses Auftritts kamen 1975 als »Live At Yankee Stadium Vol. 1« in den Handel. Dieses Album ist das einzige Werk mit lateinamerikanischer Musik, das in der Top 50 der wichtigsten Alben des 20. Jahrhunderts gelistet wird.

Fania All Stars
Right from start, Fania Records and its subsidiaries exceeded everybody’s expectations. The label was created in 1964. It penetrated the market so successfully and became so popular at the international level that its executives decided to broaden its talent in order to reach an even wider audience. The result? The wildly successful Fania All Stars, a group that brought together several of the label’s most popular artists. This move would further solidify the label’s standing in the international music scene.

The Fania All Stars’ first concert, “Live at the Red Garter,” was a promotional experiment designed solely to test the waters. The all-star cast included Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Ricardo Ray, and Bobby Cruz, and resulted in a live double album. The experiment couldn’t have been more successful. In 1971, the band revolutionized salsa as a genre with “Fania All Stars at the Cheetah,” a concert that was filmed and recorded live. In 1973, following a successful tour, the band made its first appearance at Yankee Stadium in New York. The stars performed before countless fans that had caught the fever and were swooning in the presence of consecrated performers of the genre such as Willie Colón, Johnny Pacheco, Bobby Valentín, Ray Barreto, and Mongo Santamaría.This concert, too, was filmed and recorded live, and set the standard in the music industry.

The All Stars were on fertile soil, and they wasted no time in reaping the benefits. In 1974, they appeared live at the Statu Hai stadium in Kinshasa, Zaire, which was the scene of the movie “Fania All Stars Live in Africa.” In 1975, the band returned to Yankee Stadium, this time with such famous names as Celia Cruz, Héctor Lavoe, Justo Betancourt, Ismael Quintana, Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Mirando, Pete “El Conde” Rodríguez, Bobby Cruz, and Santos Colón. One after the other, the band continued performing in concerts that were just as successful and multitudinous: “Salsa,” “Live,” “Best Of,” “Live in Japan” (1976), and “Tribute to Tito Rodríguez,” which marked Rubén Blades’ first performance with the All Stars.

To properly celebrate the Fania All Stars’ 20th birthday and Fania Records’ 30th, the label has re-released two concerts: “Live in Africa” and “Live in Japan,” which propelled a successful tour across five continents and showed the identity of a created family that has spread its social, musical, and cultural message throughout the world.
