Did you know there’s a night many call the moment salsa was born?
Larry Harlow, a Jewish kid from Brooklyn and one of Fania Records’ first signed artists, pitched the idea of filming a live conert showing the label’s talent. Fania took the chance, investing in a concert at the lengendary Cheetah Club. A year later, the film “Our Latin Thing” was released, which captured the energy of that unforgettable night. Many point to it as the moment salsa was born as a cultural force. This marked the beginning of a new Latino consciousness in the media.
Episodes 1-3 of our new podcast “Our Thing: The Birth of Salsa in Nueva York” 🗽🎵 are available wherever you listen to podcasts.
