Ray Barretto - Que Viva La Musica

Ray Barretto - Que Viva La Musica

Eight years after its creation, Fania Records had accumulated such a sizable catalog of artists that it began to issue compilations from its roster of hit-making stars such as Willie Colón, Larry Harlow, Johnny Pacheco, and Ray Barretto. In fact, Crime Pays was the first anthology the label put out in 1972. The ironically titled Crime Pays was a comment on the success of Colón’s carefully cultivated bad guy image that he sustained until the mid-1970s. The anthology compiles nine key cuts from his first four albums. 

This album compilation features the very best of the Colon/Lavoe partnership’s early years. 

First time available on vinyl in decades. All tracks showcase the genius of the Colon/Lavoe partnership in a variety of genres. 

Tracklist:
Side A 
Que Viva la Música
Bruca Maniguá
