Puerto Rican singer Ismael “Maelo” Rivera, also known as El Sonero Mayor (The Greatest Sonero), released his #TicoRecords debut album De Colores with his band Los Cachimbos 60 years ago. The ten-track album features five Ismael compositions, including the upbeat guaguancó “Lo dice la luna” and the fun boogaloo “Magoo’s Boogaloo.” The title-track “De Colores,” is a cover of the traditional song known across Latin America, and the Hugo Gonzalez composition “El dificil facil.”

The album was arranged by Hector de Leon, trumpet player for Los Cachimbos. Enjoy a remastered digital reissue in honor of the album’s 60th anniversary and making it available in HD audio for the first time.

As we celebrate 60 years of Fania, it is important that we celebrate the first album released on the label, and that’s what we are doing today, as we announce the reissue of: Johnny Pacheco’s CAÑONAZO—the 1964 release that launched Fania Records. Pacheco, who co-founded Fania, served as its creative figurehead, while his work as a musician, composer, arranger, producer, and bandleader was instrumental in shaping the modern Latin music landscape. The long out-of-print Cañonazo returns to vinyl on SEPTEMBER 13, and is available for PRE-ORDER TODAY: found.ee/johnny-pacheco-canonazo_pivot

Featuring all-analog mastering by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, the reissue is pressed on 180-gram vinyl and housed in an old-school style tip-on jacket, replicating its original artwork. A 180-gram “Red Smoke” color vinyl variant (limited to 300 copies), with a bundle option that includes a collectible Fania T-shirt, is available for pre-order at Fania.com.

Cañonazo also ushered in a new era for Pacheco, as it introduced his new band, Pacheco y su Nuevo Tumbao, featuring Pete “El Conde” Rodriguez on vocals. With the release of this album, Fania Records began its ascent in the Latin music world. Pacheco, meanwhile, would go on to record scores of albums—both as a soloist, as well as with many of Fania’s artists, including popular titles with Celia Cruz, Justo Betancourt, and Papo Lucca. As Fania’s musical director, Pacheco oversaw hundreds of recordings and, in the late ’60s, formed the legendary Fania All Stars collective. Beginning in the ’70s, he expanded into film scoring—working on such projects as the 1972 documentary Our Latin Thing and 1974’s Salsa.
