Bad links? No images? click: HERE

We are happy to offer the new digitally remastered reissues from the  
classic salsa label, Fania. Brought to you by Emusica, which, over  
time, will be reissuing the entire catalog with improved sound and  
superb liner notes too - some of which are written by Descarga.com's  
own virtually resident scholar, John Child. Many of these new  
reissues have been remastered by Jon Fausty or Bob Katz, so even if  
you already own the older CD version you might want to consider  
upgrading to the new improved edition. They're even less expensive  
than the originals were! Good news all around. Highly Recommended. (BP)

EDDIE PALMIERI
Molasses
Fania / Emusica - Remastered Edition
Originally released: 1990
Reissued: 2007
Category: SALSA/SON; SALSA
EditorsPick: Many great musicians refer to this CD as one of their  
'bible' albums. They learned to play listening to this album. I've  
never heard a rhythm section so rock-solid in my life. You want to  
keep up with Manny Oquendo on timbales? Well...good luck. Eddie  
Palmieri, while listening to this CD on a recent visit to my radio  
show, mentioned that, 'It was solid because it was between us and  
those dancers. The dancers took us to that level.' Those must have  
been some great dancers. Pianist Eddie Palmieri is spectacular as is  
trombonist Barry Rogers. (96/97 Catalog) (Jose Rizo)
SONG TITLES:
1. Melao Para El Sapo (4:59) 2. Traguito (4:31) 3. Your'e Gonna Hear  
 From Me (3:31) 4. Bombonsito De Pozo (5:45) 5. Carnaval En Camaguey  
(3:27) 6. Triandote Flores (4:18) 7. Campesino (El Pregon De La  
Montaña) (3:58)
MUSICIANS:
• Eddie Palmieri: Piano, leader
• Ismael Quintana: Vocals
• Barry Rogers: Trombone
• Jose Rodrigues: Trombone
• Manny Oquendo: Timbals, bongos
• Tommy Lopez: Conga
• George Castro: Flute
• David Perez: Bass

FANIA in transition... The recent acquisition of the Fania related  
labels (Fania, Alegre, Cotique, Vaya, Tico, Inca, Barbaro etc.) will  
mean that this large, historically significant, catalog of titles may  
be in scarce supply until they are reissued. They are going fast. We  
strongly urge those of you who are considering any of the following  
titles to place your order while supplies last. Click below for a
