Free Music Notes for Que Pasa: The Best of the Fania All StarsFree Music Review: Que Pasa: The Best of the Fania All Stars
Though not quite all the best from Fania All Stars's Columbia/CBS Records titles, it is indeed one for the books. There are some key titles missing from this collection (Desafio from 1976's Delicate & Jumpy; En Orbita from 1977's Rhythm Machine; Te Pareces A Judas from 1978's Spanish Fever), yet, those that have been included do justice to Fania's overall musical adventure. We must remember that back in the 70's, Disco Music dominated the airwaves as well as the night clubs, so The Fania All Stars, as adventurous and ambitious as they were, felt they needed to prove to themselves they could too be a force in that arena. You will hear their vision on each and everyone of the 13 tracks of this collection. Their attempt is a success in many levels; however, the few times when they failed, you could hear their collapse miles away. But worry not, they knew how to get back up and start all over again. The whole package defines an era. An era very much too dear to me, and no doubt, to many other listeners and lovers of the genre and its performers (The Fania All Stars in this case). An era where Latinos were up and coming in many aspects and spectrums of everyday life. Titles like Ella Fue (She Was The One) and Que Pasa ventures with the not yet known Latin Jazz mixed in with the sounds of the times like Disco and Rock. Songs like Juan Pachanga and Sin Tu Carino by Panamanian idol Ruben Blades were simply a prelude of things and ideas to come by him as a composer, singer, sonero, and producer. Jams like Coro Miyare and Los Bravos will give you goose-bumps. The melodic Isadora by Celia Cruz (written by Puerto Rican master composer Catalino Curet Alonso)tells a story as it's likely to be told nowadays. Give it a try; you will live or live again the 70's without wearing a white suit or platform shoes.
