FANIA artists, including the likes of Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Willie Colon, Ray Barretto, Hector Lavoe and Pete Rodriguez, all performed and toured in The FANIA All Stars, pioneering a style drawn from African rhythms and American popular music, such as Soul and RnB, to produced the universally popular: 'Salsa'.
