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.
Highly Recommended. (BP)
