About

In 2024, the legendary New York Latin music label Fania Records celebrates it's 60th anniversary.

Fania Records was founded in 1964 by Dominican musician Johnny Pacheco and his Italian-American lawyer (and Cuban music fan) Jerry Masucci. It would become the greatest Latin music label of all time and the driving force behind the spread of salsa music from New York City to the rest of the world.

Pacheco and Masucci would take the salsa gospel across the globe with the release of the 1971 award winning documentary Our Latin Thing and with world tours by the label's in-house band the Fania All Stars.

Orchestra Mambo International are a 12 piece orchestra who feature some of the top salsa and jazz musicians in the country including Venezuelan singer Carlos "Pachanga" Pena, vocalist Juanika Euka and Cuban bass maestro Ivan Pavon. Band members have played with the likes of Oscar D'Leon, Larry Harlow, Jimmy Bosch, Tito Allen, Bobby Matos, Salsa Celtica, Grupo X, Angel Bonne, Sur Caribe, Buena Vista Allstars, Dave Valentin, The Haggis Horns, Matthew Halsall's Gondwana Orchestra and The New Mastersounds.

Orchestra Mambo International will be playing iconic songs and music by the Fania Allstars, Ray Barretto, Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe, Celia Cruz, Larry Harlow, Tito Puente, Cheo Feliciano and many more amazing Fania Records artists.

The night will be hosted by DJ Lubi who will also be playing salsa sets before, between and after the live music sets.

After selling out the Forge in April 2024 an extra date has been added by overwhelming demand. Don't miss out - buy today!
