Mr. Bongo presents this amazing collection of brilliant remixes of Fania classics. Featuring remixes by such contemporary heavyweights as Gilles Peterson, DJ Format, Louie Vega, Bugz in the Attic and many, many more who have enhanced the catalogue with their own unique sounds. • Like many American stories, the tale of Fania comes from the boroughs and inner city barrios of New York City. Along the way, Fania artists mixed a cornucopia of styles that transcended the boundaries of traditional Latin music and set the path for the genres of salsa, boogalu, Latin R&B, and Afro-Cuban jazz. • Radio 1 DJ, Brownswood Records label boss and all-round music guru Gilles Peterson offers up a great mix of Nora Morales, alongside Brazil’s electronic trio of the moment, funk carioca outfit Bonde de Role who have worked with Diplo and now signed to Domino. Hip hop pioneer DJ Format produced a storming mix of Dave Cortez which was a previous sell-out 12”. Along with Masters at Work’s musical legend Louie Vega’s 11-minute re-work of Hector Lavoe, 4 Hero produce a beautiful remix of • Ralfi Pagan in their inimitable style. • The infamous ‘I Like It Like That’ by Peter Rodriguez title track is well known from the Odeon cinema ident. • March 20th launch party at Miami Winter Music Conference. UK launch party at Cargo in May/June featuring live Latin band and DJs: Gilles Peterson, DJ Format, Bonde do Role, Louie Vega and many more artists featured on the album. • For more info contact: jane@mrbongo.com • www.mrbongo.com Fania - RemixedI Like It Like That Title: I Like it Like That - Fania Remixed Label: Mr. Bongo Distributor: The Orchard Cat.
