Elio Villafranca & The Jass Syncopators will take the stage at Aaron Davis Hall on Friday, April 26, for a magical musical journey “Crossroads from Cuba to New York.”
A social history of New York, told entirely through its restaurants. For our 10th Yesteryear Issue, we dove into the NYC’s most legendary dining rooms. This is “Who Ate Where.”
On August 24, 1973, 40,000 salsa fans (a record-breaking crowd at the time for a Latin music event) eagerly piled into New York’s Yankee Stadium to watch some of the world’s most influential artists share the stage. But the Fania All Stars a collective that included such legends as Johnny Pacheco, Willie Colon, Ray Barretto, and Héctor Lavoe was eager to highlight its versatility by performing not just Latin hits, but also soul and rock hits from the day.
