In 1964, Fania Records was founded in New York City. The Fania All-Stars were Fania's best selling band, outlasting the label itself. Larry Harlow was chosen by Jerry Masucci to produce the band's records while Pacheco acted as director on stage. In 2003, the 1975 Fania release Live at Yankee Stadium was included in the second set of 50 recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry. The music lives on today in all the dancers from the era & those who preserve the music!
