What a genius he was....I never knew he had 150 famous recordings, founded Salsa,literally......never knew he played 5 instruments......I'm really fascinated with his legacy...

Amen brother. I received my Fania- Latino consciousness beyond my family and my neighborhood in 1977 in the Bronx y mi Abuela Uptown in the Heights. Made me so proud then and now. Pa lante brother.
Pacheco s early 60s music took the Big Apple by storm. His Pachanga albums are classics. More importantly, Johnny's music inspired cultural pride for all the Hispanics living in NY & other cities. TY Johnnie for giving me a musical bridge to enhance my cultural pride & respect for all that represents my Puerto Rican heritage .

Aurora, you're great with interviews...it's really and honor watching ur shows and with pacheco its like going back to history of latin music from the beginning. Para los mas nenes o jovenes....pongan oidos y aprendan de historia like Aurora is doing. This is a class Master !!
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 JOHNNY PACHECO🇩🇴 he inherited his passion for music from his father, Rafael Azarias Pacheco, who was the band's leader and clarinetist in the "Santa Cecilia Orchestra". In the late 1940s, when Pacheco was 11 years old, his family moved to New York City from his native Dominican Republic. He continued to hone his musical skills, learning to play the accordion, violin, saxophone, and clarinet. He attended the Juilliard School of Music to study percussion. Playing the flute, saxophone, and assorted percussion, Pacheco performed with Charlie Palmieri's Latin orchestra for several years before forming his own band in 1959. Experimentation was the focus of his new band, combining African music from Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Port. Rich heritage in what became known as salsa. In 1960, he organized his first orchestra, "Pacheco y Su Charanga". The band signed with Alegre Records and their first album "Johnny Pacheco y Su Charanga" sold more than 100,000 copies in the first year. From then until the end of 1963, Pacheco introduced a new dance fashion called "Pachanga". He became an internationally renowned star and toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Also, "Pacheco y Su Charanga" was the first Latin band to headline the Apollo Harlem, NYC in 1962 and 1963.💯🎶📖😇
I was really surprised about what happen to the composer of Quimbara. That kind of situation use to happen o lot with musicians and drugs. I know because I've been thru that and I learn my lesson and not to touch drugs neither !! Bravo for your interviews Aurora👍🏽🎶🎵
JOHNNY PACHECO🇩🇴 Dominican contributors to Salsa's sound and styles, a better and more complete understanding of Salsa's evolution has emerged. From Salsa's beginnings as a social commentary to the more recent romantic ballads, regardless the style, Salsa was built on the shoulders of many talented Dominican artists. Today, Salsa's rhythms are enjoyed by people of different ethnicities and languages in countries from around the world 🌎
Huh?? On the shoulder of dominicans??? Who??? Which ones They? You must be new in the United states. The only two dominicans johny Pacheco and jose alberto el canario. Which was raised around all PUERTORICANS and picked up the talents off the boricuas. Jose alberto el canario born in Hd/dH dominiHaiti o Haitidomini but raised all his entire life in PUERTORICO 🇵🇷 since the age of 6 and learned which all the musicians in PUERTORICO. Pacheco was just a producer together with and Italian jew argentine Jerry massuci which if he didn't do Jerry massuci would have. DominiHaitianos didn't make no salsa he played cuban guaracha and charanga and son. ...not salsa which is a Nuyokrikan name baptized by the PUERTORICANS richie ray and bobbie cruz which when u look at it. Pacheco was Boricuanizado. A lot of people never knew he was even dumbinacan. Im Italian and I sure didn't think he was Dominican. His look and additute and talk and way was that of a PUERTORICAN. Pacheco is adding more to what he is sayin to get credit for something he really didn't do. I mean why he fell off in the last 30yrs he didn't make it unless it was Boricuas helping him.

@@carlitosheredia8485 Para inicios de los años 60's la música de los pasados treinta (30) años, la tradicional "Latin Music" o música latina caribeña de Nueva York, Puerto Rico y Cuba, se venia desgastando y perdiendo adeptos. Los famosos clubes nocturnos dedicados a esta música comenzaban a cerrar, el peor de los casos fue el cierre del Palladium en Nueva York. Por otro lado "Cuba cerró su mercado por más de 20 años, desde 1960 a 1980, debido a la revolución, ya no habian clubes nocturnos, ni salones de baile en la Habana." Aquella vieja música tradicional, ya necesitaba una renovación, revitalización y actualización, acorde a los nuevos tiempos. Antes de llegar la Salsa, los ritmos comunes tenian sus caracteristicas particulares, estos eran: La Guaracha, el Son, la Rumba el Mambo el Cha cha cha, Pachanga, Charanga, Boogaloo y otros ritmos que envejecieron y perdieron espacio y popularidad (†). Así las cosas, el nuevo movimiento salsero se va formando desde mediados de los años 60's y para inicio de los 70's ya habia madurado. Para esta época, la ciudad de Nueva York, albergaba mas de un millón quinientos mil (1,500,000) puertorriqueños y alrededor de cincuenta mil (50,000) de ellos, eran músicos. Desde 1962 ya los boricuas comenzaban a utilizar la palabra "Salsa" para definir este nuevo sonido músical, su propulsor y quien comercializaria esta palabra lo sería Izzy Sanabria. El nuevo sonido de la Salsa tipo "Guaracha Jazz", que trajeron los puertorriqueños: Tito Puente, Tito Rodríguez, Rafael Cortijo e Ismael Rivera, Richie Ray y Bobby Cruz, Willie Colón y Héctor Lavoe, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, Willie Rosario, Bobby Valentin, Roberto Rohena y su Apollo Sound, la Sonora Ponceña y Tommy Olivencia, solo por mencionar algunos, tenia un claro sabor a Puerto Rico y eso lo cambio y transformó todo. Se creó un nuevo y más dinámico sonido, en que se enfatizarian: (músicos y cantantes mayoritariamente boricuas, una sección de trombones, el piano eléctrico, el bajo eléctrico, campanas, el uso del cuatro puertorriqueño, el toque de la Bomba en el Tambor, Aguinaldos y Seises en las composiciones músicales, la insistencia en el estilo guarachero, así como letras y composiciones boricuas, unidas a solos estilo Latin Jazz) todo ello, acorde con los nuevos tiempos que cambiarían la historia de la música caribeña. Los nuevos clubes nocturnos eran en su inmensa mayoria ahora propiedad de puertorriqueños, ejemplo de ello lo fue el Club Nocturno Chetahh (de Ralph Mercado), donde irrumpio de forma organizada "La Salsa". Hubo un rechazo inmediato y ataque de los viejos músicos cubanos a esta música emergente, Arsenio Rodríguez, molesto abandonó Nueva York,, a falta de ofertas de trabajo, su música "típica cubana y tradicional" ya no gustaba, era muy lenta y no se ajustaba a la época ni a la dinámica vertiginosa de la ciudad, Israel López "Cachao", lamento la falta de oportunidades, Mario Bauzá y Machito perdieron protagonismo y cayeron en el olvido, ellos a su vez, catalogaban este genero de bajo valor músical y chabacano. De hecho para 1976, Mario Bauza y la hermana de Machito; "Graciela" abandonan su orquesta (la de Machito) al este intentar incursionar en la "Salsa". Damaso Pérez Prado, decia que esta música era un producto músical para estupidos. El flautista cubano José Fajardo, por el contrariio hizo su orquesta únicamente con músicos boricuas y se fue a vivir a Puerto Rico. Y fueron desapareciendo los criticos así como las agrupacones músicales cubanas de Nueva York. En la Cuba comunista de los años 60's y 70's, era rechazada su entrada y no se transmitia en la radio, ni habian agrupaciones, clubes o salones de baile donde se tocaran la Salsa en ese país. Para los años 80's, la Fania, visito Cuba y en el Teatro Carl Marx, cuando la orquesta comenzó a tocar, los cubanos se levantaron de sus butacas y abandonaron la sala. Para rematar, el exilio cubano de Miami, se encargó de marcar y desacreditar a cualquier artista puertorriqueño que quisiera ir a Cuba, como ocurrió con Andy Montañez”. El rechazo cubano a la "Incipiente Salsa" era una muestra de menosprecio al nuevo genero músical. Los puertorriqueños habian creado un nuevo sonido que evidentemente generaba malestar y disgusto, los boricuas ahora llevaban practicamente solos de su mano, la antorcha y representación de la nueva música afroantillana. Entre los innovadores estuvo el grupo Cortijo y su Combo con el "Sonero Mayor" Ismael Rivera, que en la década de 1950 integró los ritmos afro-puertorriqueños llamados bomba y plena en guarachas, y en un formato moderno para orquesta de baile. Esta nueva música, era de barrio, de gente pobre y humilde, hablaba del diario vivir, de la ciudad, del ghetto, hablaba de drogas, de violencia, de venganza, de infidelidades (Juana Peña, Calle Luna Calle Sol, Sigue Guisando, Quitate de la Via Perico, el Negrito Bembón, Pa' los Caserios, de Barrio Obrero a la 15) era para los viejos músicos algo así como música sin clase y de la plebe newyorkina y puertorriqueña. El sonido más callejero de Willie Colón y sus álbumes con temas de pandilleros, como; El Malo, Guisando, La Gran Fuga, despertaron la imaginación de los jóvenes latinos criados en barrios de privación económica. Willie Colón, integró estilos afrocaribeños y ritmos boricuas como seises, bombas, plenas, aguinaldos, junto al cuatro puertorriqueño y el, junto a Héctor Lavoe "El Cantante de los Cantantes", se convirtieron en íconos del nuevo estilo músical llamado "Salsa". Sin embargo como todo cambia, "Mas adelante la Salsa Evolucionaría" y se hizo menos callejera y más romántica, convertiendose en la joya más deseada y envidiada, como genero músical caribeño. Otros paises ahora comenzaban a copiar la nueva instrumentación salsera de Nueva York y Puerto Rico y creaban su propia :Salsa"

Oh si ! No soy bilingüe pero deduzco algunas cosas cuando habla bilingüe, particularmente buscaré quien me traduzca porque todos dicen que es la mejor entrevista que se le hizo a JP , Oyeme Mulata ! 😄💪🏽 " Aurora de Rosa ..."
We would have never Experienced the Great "Hector La Voe" (El Cantante de los Cantante) and Willie Colon if it wasn't for THIS GREAT MAN, and What He Did for CELIA and SO MANY? FORGET ABOUT IT....! IT's My Ultimate Dream to get a Motion Picture or Made for TV Series even on TELEMUNDO or UNIVISION on the Life Story of EL MAESTRO JOHNNY PACHECO. DAMN....atleast Mexican TV Producers made a TV Series on CELIA!.........START.....the.....BUZZ!
Great interview ! Orgullo Dominicano y latino ! Also great interviewer... that’s how an interview should be conducted, you do your research of the person you’re going to be interviewing, she did an awesome job Aurora. Just earned a subscriber in me !
Regarding Symphony Sid's final 1973 broadcast on WEVD--the recording of which is available--does anyone know the exact date that occurred? I wrote to WEVD to inquire but never heard back from them. Nor do I know on what date and why WEVD changed its format from salsa music. I used to love listening to WEVD late at night when its signal was strong enough to be heard here in Montreal and was puzzled when it suddenly vanished from the airwaves. In fact, my salsa record collecting began from when I first heard WEVD.
A very interesting if all-too-brief interview which answered many questions I'd been wondering about for years, however since it abruptly cuts off after 52 minutes, I presume it actually continues further, so it would be great if someone would upload the rest of it. Johnny should write his memoirs, as many other salsa stars ought to do as well. Indeed, there is a glaring shortage of biographies and autobiographies--at least in English --by such artists and other people in this wonderful genre of music. Yes, I've read "The Latin Tinge", by John Storm Roberts and "Salsiology" by Vernon W. Boggs, but I'm still waiting for others to step up. Unfortunately the late Symphony Sid never got around to writing his memoirs either, as he said he wanted to do and whatever happened to Larry Harlow's proposed autobiography that he refers to in a TH-cam interview? Incidentally, I was fortunate enough to see Johnny and several other salsa artists perform during Montreal's annual jazz festivals some years back.

Thank you for the tips on the books brother. I was 12 in 1977. I knew the music but I took it for granted. I was a kid. I wanted to speak English. Today I look back with such pride and nostalgia. As I got older I’d discuss them with my uncle. Mi Tio was a baletero that really lit up the dance floors throughout NYC and he told me stories. Nowadays I cant t get enough. From Miami I listen and discuss it with brothers here that grew up in the Bronx as well. My desire to read those memoirs is so deep I just read Mambo Kings, for a taste....of snytgibg. I also read the memoirs of Esmeralda Santiago and I cheered out loud when she talked about how special it was to go see Ray Barreto. I was thinking Harlow would be the right guy to pull it all together: still alive snd was teaching Philosophy and CUNY. Thank you again for the tips.
Johnny Pacheco no de los músicos que mas me ha inspirado y he admirado en toda mi vida musical desde los 8 años, (naci en el 64) Tuve la oportunidad de conocerlo en veracruz en el año de 1983, en un baile de semana santa al lado del gran Luis angel swilva ek Gran melón QEPD., lo acompañó la sonora veracruz de Pepe vallejo, que gran noche aquella I N O L V I D A B L E , un abrazo cordial al maestro Johnny Pacheco.
It's a SHAME that the Company that was founded by El Maestro Johnny Pacheco, the Man who CREATED the SALSA Genre, and the Company that was just sold for MILLIONS of Dollars Doesn't see Fit to Make a Major Motion Picture of its FOUNDERS LIFE AND LEGACY. El Maestro Johnny Pacheco is in his 80's, and who knows how much longer he will be around. THIS MOVIE IS LONG OVERDUE. Apparently, the Current Owners do not have the SAME VISION AND PASSION that EL Maestro had with the MUSIC. Other Groups have Made Motion Pictures, or Made for TV Movie of there Cultural Heroes, But the Latinos Community is Pathetic. ie. Ray Charles, James Brown, Supremes, Jim Morrison, Queen, Temptations, Bobby Brown, Biggie Smalls, Jackson 5, Whitney Houston, Ray Charles, Cadillac Records, etc, etc, etc. Yet, we can't make a movie for a person that has given us so much and CONTRIBUTED, so much to our Culture. I guess they will wait till he's gone to make it. PATHETIC and SHAMEFUL. MAESTRO, YOU DESERVE BETTER.
2 years ago on Facebook I tried to start a buzz to get Kennedy Center Honors to recognize Pacheco, even Tito Puente should get Kennedy Center Honors Recognition. Yet, LL Cool J can get recognized. Like I said The Latino Community is full Crap!....Pathetic!
@@deepstate3358 you should contact the lady doing the interview, who I respect! With her background, connections, and history in the community, she is the best person to contact. Also, community leader Jose Rivera and all NY latino politicians. Good luck.
EN LAS HISTORIETAS DE N.Y NO MENCIONAN. LA CANTIDAD DE CANCIONES , DE CUBA. QUE PLAGIARON, CAMBIARON LETRAS. CON MALAS INTENCIONES. CUANDO SE CANSARON LOS DE P.R COMENZARON A BUSCAR EN CUBA Y LLEVÁRSELO A PACHECO. TIENEN QUE MENCIONAR LOS 60 AÑOS DE MÚSICA QUE CUBA LES DABA GRATUITAMENTE LOS NUEVOS FORMATOS MUSICALES QUE LE TRAÍAN DE CUBA. NADIE DICE QUE PACHECO Y QUIEN NO ES PACHECO SE ADJUDICARON ARREGLOS INEXISTENTES. LOS FORMATOS MUSICALES DE CUBA LO TRAEN TODO. NO EXISTEN TALES ARREGLO. FALTA MUCHO EN ESTA HISTORIETA.
37:30 This part (including the audience laughter) always makes me laugh, too. 😊 Anyway, that non English speaking / non Spanish speaking African singer must have had a beautiful voice because *Tito Rodriguez* 's voice in *Cara de Payaso* is absolutely beautiful and smooth. Listen: th-cam.com/video/dBgUNBBi5g8/w-d-xo.html
Latinos are full of CRAP! He doesn't even have a street in the bronx named after him. La Cuna de la Salsa. I guess they will wait to he's gone. SHAMEFUL. Como dijo El Gran Combo: Que Me Lo Den En Vida. You Deserve Better Maestro. FANIA..FANIA...FANIA..
Exactly, Que Me Lo Den En Vida! Lady, great interview but we need to uplift and honor our cultural heroes while still alive. Salsa is the Music of Our People, Our Latin Thing! Damn, Rapper Biggie Smalls got a street named after Him, YOU Kidding Me?
J5944 the community can start by buying their music and demanding that salsa is played on the radio. But that won’t happen, young people basically want hip hop & reggaeton and don’t listen or dance to salsa. So if you don’t put your money where your mouth is, nothing’s going to happen. It’s up to us and all I hear is complaints and no actions.
www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/alegre-records-history/ "MASTER” is the word to describe this multifaceted artist, whose multiple talents as a musician, singer, composer, director, and producer allowed him to forge the careers of many young artists who entered the world of Salsa, as well as many other renowned stars, such as Celia Cruz, Willie Colón, Héctor Lavoe, Pete “El Conde” Rodríguez, Rubén Blades, Cheo Feliciano, and countless others who shared billing with him on his albums.
I can tell that interviewer is a straight up Boricua Nuyokrikan that unique accent....I always thought Pacheco was PUERTORICAN I guess been around all those Nuyokrikan which 98% in fania was Boricuas. But this is a good interview. It dont matter where he is from the talent is what matters.
He's the reason why people were crediting Puerto Ricans with inventing Salsa in New York. He never hid the fact that he was Dominican though. If you look at interviews from the 1970's he always said he was from the Dominican Republic. For him to be able to do what he did with Fania is pretty impressive since Dominicans were not that prevalent in New York at that time.
@@deepstate3358 yes i get it. But Johnny Pacheco is an over achiever very self if you listen well the way he talks about these other Puerto Rican he criticize them using a joke behind it and then making himself look more important and he gets a kick out of it look in the interviews. He uses negative positives. Just listen how he trashed Charlie Palmieri, and tito puente. Since no one really paid him any mind he was always in the back burner ... not taking anything away ok he was the " only dominiHaitian who no one really knew or paid any mind he was a dumbinacan. Everyone says " oh damn he was dumbinacan? I guess he was the first dumbinacan family to come yo NYC at that time. To me El tipo esta Boricuanizado. Lo de domi no se le notaba ni se veia o sentia ....that's from being around the 96% nuyokrikan all the time rubbed off. But all in all he was an over achiver also like Celia cruz another one who would trash talk puertoricans after PUERTORICANS blessd her with the name LA REINA DE LA SALSA. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOLANDITA RIVERA from PUERTORICO but certain circumstances occurred shit happens. Johnny Pacheco used his funny sense of humor to trash talk others while he puts the spot light on himself. He will talk ...oh fulano was good but this and that and the other and turns around sayin" but I made it sound better and " I invented this. Yea ok hajaja in his dreams. He was a big time coke head too I remember when he would snort his nose away a miracle he last as long as he did for real. Thats real talk. No covering the sky with one finger with Johnny.
@@deepstate3358 i mean Johnny with the help of Jerry and other people involved it was impressive i mean if he didn't do it willie colon was bound to do it and others who had their eye on it. Tito puente would have to he even was gonna get his hands on it to produce fania and bobby valentin and willie rosario to an extention they were already ahead of that. Ok so he got credit to be the producer of fania with Jerry but with a tribe of 96% puertorican singers and musicians

Correction: The idea for Quitate Tu came originally from Tito Rodriguez in his album Charanga Pachanga 1961. Pacheco used it a decade later.

🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 JOHNNY PACHECO🇩🇴 he inherited his passion for music from his father, Rafael Azarias Pacheco, who was the band's leader and clarinetist in the "Santa Cecilia Orchestra". In the late 1940s, when Pacheco was 11 years old, his family moved to New York City from his native Dominican Republic. He continued to hone his musical skills, learning to play the accordion, violin, saxophone, and clarinet. He attended the Juilliard School of Music to study percussion. Playing the flute, saxophone, and assorted percussion, Pacheco performed with Charlie Palmieri's Latin orchestra for several years before forming his own band in 1959. Experimentation was the focus of his new band, combining African music from Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Port. Rich heritage in what became known as salsa. In 1960, he organized his first orchestra, "Pacheco y Su Charanga". The band signed with Alegre Records and their first album "Johnny Pacheco y Su Charanga" sold more than 100,000 copies in the first year. From then until the end of 1963, Pacheco introduced a new dance fashion called "Pachanga". He became an internationally renowned star and toured extensively throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Also, "Pacheco y Su Charanga" was the first Latin band to headline the Apollo Harlem, NYC in 1962 and 1963.💯🎶📖😇
Now *THIS* is an interview!!!
I didn't know he passed away. In normal times, we would have had a send off as big as Hector Lavoe's. ➕
Yes he did- and that's true 😭
Roll In Peace.
Great interview. Respect to Aurora Flores. She knows what's she is doing. Pro pro.
a salsa icon love his music and everything hes about lol and respect to johnny pacheco
Rest in peace Johnny Pacheco
I was really surprised about what happen to the composer of Quimbara.

I know because I've been thru that and I learn my lesson and not to touch drugs neither !! Bravo for your interviews Aurora👍🏽🎶🎵
RIP Maestro

Dominican contributors to Salsa's sound and styles, a better and more complete understanding of Salsa's evolution has emerged. From Salsa's beginnings as a social commentary to the more recent romantic ballads, regardless the style, Salsa was built on the shoulders of many talented Dominican artists. Today, Salsa's rhythms are enjoyed by people of different ethnicities and languages in countries from around the world 🌎
Huh?? On the shoulder of dominicans??? Who??? Which ones They? You must be new in the United states. The
only two dominicans johny Pacheco and jose alberto el canario. Which was raised around all PUERTORICANS and picked up the talents off the boricuas. Jose alberto el canario born in Hd/dH dominiHaiti o Haitidomini but raised all his entire life in PUERTORICO 🇵🇷 since the age of 6 and learned which all the musicians in PUERTORICO. Pacheco was just a producer together with and Italian jew argentine Jerry massuci which if he didn't do Jerry massuci would have. DominiHaitianos didn't make no salsa he played cuban guaracha and charanga and son. ...not salsa which is a Nuyokrikan name baptized by the PUERTORICANS richie ray and bobbie cruz which when u look at it. Pacheco was Boricuanizado. A lot of people never knew he was even dumbinacan. Im Italian and I sure didn't think he was Dominican. His look and additute and talk and way was that of a PUERTORICAN. Pacheco is adding more to what he is sayin to get credit for something he really didn't do. I mean why he fell off in the last 30yrs he didn't make it unless it was Boricuas helping him.

@@carlitosheredia8485 Para inicios de los años 60's la música de los pasados treinta (30) años, la tradicional "Latin Music" o música latina caribeña de Nueva York, Puerto Rico y Cuba, se venia desgastando y perdiendo adeptos. Los famosos clubes nocturnos dedicados a esta música comenzaban a cerrar, el peor de los casos fue el cierre del Palladium en Nueva York. Por otro lado "Cuba cerró su mercado por más de 20 años, desde 1960 a 1980, debido a la revolución, ya no habian clubes nocturnos, ni salones de baile en la Habana." Aquella vieja música tradicional, ya necesitaba una renovación, revitalización y actualización, acorde a los nuevos tiempos. Antes de llegar la Salsa, los ritmos comunes tenian sus caracteristicas particulares, estos eran: La Guaracha, el Son, la Rumba el Mambo el Cha cha cha, Pachanga, Charanga, Boogaloo y otros ritmos que envejecieron y perdieron espacio y popularidad (†). Así las cosas, el nuevo movimiento salsero se va formando desde mediados de los años 60's y para inicio de los 70's ya habia madurado. Para esta época, la ciudad de Nueva York, albergaba mas de un millón quinientos mil (1,500,000) puertorriqueños y alrededor de cincuenta mil (50,000) de ellos, eran músicos. Desde 1962 ya los boricuas comenzaban a utilizar la palabra "Salsa" para definir este nuevo sonido músical, su propulsor y quien comercializaria esta palabra lo sería Izzy Sanabria.
El nuevo sonido de la Salsa tipo "Guaracha Jazz", que trajeron los puertorriqueños: Tito Puente, Tito Rodríguez, Rafael Cortijo e Ismael Rivera, Richie Ray y Bobby Cruz, Willie Colón y Héctor Lavoe, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, Willie Rosario, Bobby Valentin, Roberto Rohena y su Apollo Sound, la Sonora Ponceña y Tommy Olivencia, solo por mencionar algunos, tenia un claro sabor a Puerto Rico y eso lo cambio y transformó todo. Se creó un nuevo y más dinámico sonido, en que se enfatizarian: (músicos y cantantes mayoritariamente boricuas, una sección de trombones, el piano eléctrico, el bajo eléctrico, campanas, el uso del cuatro puertorriqueño, el toque de la Bomba en el Tambor, Aguinaldos y Seises en las composiciones músicales, la insistencia en el estilo guarachero, así como letras y composiciones boricuas, unidas a solos estilo Latin Jazz) todo ello, acorde con los nuevos tiempos que cambiarían la historia de la música caribeña. Los nuevos clubes nocturnos eran en su inmensa mayoria ahora propiedad de puertorriqueños, ejemplo de ello lo fue el Club Nocturno Chetahh (de Ralph Mercado), donde irrumpio de forma organizada "La Salsa".
Hubo un rechazo inmediato y ataque de los viejos músicos cubanos a esta música emergente, Arsenio Rodríguez, molesto abandonó Nueva York,, a falta de ofertas de trabajo, su música "típica cubana y tradicional" ya no gustaba, era muy lenta y no se ajustaba a la época ni a la dinámica vertiginosa de la ciudad, Israel López "Cachao", lamento la falta de oportunidades, Mario Bauzá y Machito perdieron protagonismo y cayeron en el olvido, ellos a su vez, catalogaban este genero de bajo valor músical y chabacano. De hecho para 1976, Mario Bauza y la hermana de Machito; "Graciela" abandonan su orquesta (la de Machito) al este intentar incursionar en la "Salsa". Damaso Pérez Prado, decia que esta música era un producto músical para estupidos. El flautista cubano José Fajardo, por el contrariio hizo su orquesta únicamente con músicos boricuas y se fue a vivir a Puerto Rico. Y fueron desapareciendo los criticos así como las agrupacones músicales cubanas de Nueva York. En la Cuba comunista de los años 60's y 70's, era rechazada su entrada y no se transmitia en la radio, ni habian agrupaciones, clubes o salones de baile donde se tocaran la Salsa en ese país. Para los años 80's, la Fania, visito Cuba y en el Teatro Carl Marx, cuando la orquesta comenzó a tocar, los cubanos se levantaron de sus butacas y abandonaron la sala. Para rematar, el exilio cubano de Miami, se encargó de marcar y desacreditar a cualquier artista puertorriqueño que quisiera ir a Cuba, como ocurrió con Andy Montañez”. El rechazo cubano a la "Incipiente Salsa" era una muestra de menosprecio al nuevo genero músical. Los puertorriqueños habian creado un nuevo sonido que evidentemente generaba malestar y disgusto, los boricuas ahora llevaban practicamente solos de su mano, la antorcha y representación de la nueva música afroantillana.
Entre los innovadores estuvo el grupo Cortijo y su Combo con el "Sonero Mayor" Ismael Rivera, que en la década de 1950 integró los ritmos afro-puertorriqueños llamados bomba y plena en guarachas, y en un formato moderno para orquesta de baile. Esta nueva música, era de barrio, de gente pobre y humilde, hablaba del diario vivir, de la ciudad, del ghetto, hablaba de drogas, de violencia, de venganza, de infidelidades (Juana Peña, Calle Luna Calle Sol, Sigue Guisando, Quitate de la Via Perico, el Negrito Bembón, Pa' los Caserios, de Barrio Obrero a la 15) era para los viejos músicos algo así como música sin clase y de la plebe newyorkina y puertorriqueña. El sonido más callejero de Willie Colón y sus álbumes con temas de pandilleros, como; El Malo, Guisando, La Gran Fuga, despertaron la imaginación de los jóvenes latinos criados en barrios de privación económica. Willie Colón, integró estilos afrocaribeños y ritmos boricuas como seises, bombas, plenas, aguinaldos, junto al cuatro puertorriqueño y el, junto a Héctor Lavoe "El Cantante de los Cantantes", se convirtieron en íconos del nuevo estilo músical llamado "Salsa". Sin embargo como todo cambia, "Mas adelante la Salsa Evolucionaría" y se hizo menos callejera y más romántica, convertiendose en la joya más deseada y envidiada, como genero músical caribeño. Otros paises ahora comenzaban a copiar la nueva instrumentación salsera de Nueva York y Puerto Rico y creaban su propia :Salsa"
@@salsero3982 me quito el sombrero delante de ti. Eres una enciclopedia
Mezcla de ritmos afrocaribeños y latin jazz. La SALSA es un género músical creado entre la ciudad de San Juan (Puerto Rico) y Nueva York, desde mediados de los años 50's,-y principios de los años 1970's, utilizando la guaracha, como su ingrediente principal. Sus protagonistas resultan y vienen a ser músicos mayormente de origen boricua, los que fusionaron distintos ritmos, lo que dio origen a un nuevo sonido músical. La salsa no es un particular ritmo músical, es “una nueva manera de hacer música mezclada”, cuyas características centrales lo son la libre combinación de ritmos y géneros del Caribe. Ritmos como: la Guaracha,, el Latin Jazz, el Mambo, el Son Montuno, la Bomba, la Plena, el Seis, la Rumba, Aguinaldos y Guaguancó) Diríamos en líneas generales que la Salsa es una nueva manera de tocar y combinar los instrumentos de percusión; los montunos del piano, los bajos, los arreglos y formatos orquestales, las voces, y sus inflexiones vocales, sus improvisaciones y estribillos; los movimientos escénicos, y los textos cantados. En cuanto a parámetros exclusivamente músicales, los arreglos y formatos orquestales tipo Jazz, con la preeminencia del trombón entre los vientos, lo cual proviene de una tradición boricua que pasa directamente de Mon Rivera a Willie Colón. La Salsa es como un sofrito de ingredientes músicales, que combinados crean un solo sabor, eso es = SALSA.
Descanse en paz maestro
Este gran Señor sigue hablando en Español aunque la entrevista es en Inglés, que grande es, porque nuestras Raíces se hablan es Español, la diferencia del sabor y la Fuerza que se oye en Español, a lo parco cuando se habla en Inglés porque así es nuestro Idioma: Grande, como Grande es Pacheco y su Tumbao👍
Of course he was raised in lives in the states!

THE WORD ,SALSA WAS INVENTED FOR PACHECO
Pacheco is the MICHAEL JORDAN OF SALSA
Regarding Symphony Sid's final 1973 broadcast on WEVD--the recording of which is available--does anyone know the exact date that occurred? I wrote to WEVD to inquire but never heard back from them. Nor do I know on what date and why WEVD changed its format from salsa music. I used to love listening to WEVD late at night when its signal was strong enough to be heard here in Montreal and was puzzled when it suddenly vanished from the airwaves. In fact, my salsa record collecting began from when I first heard WEVD.
A very interesting if all-too-brief interview which answered many questions I'd been wondering about for years, however since it abruptly cuts off after 52 minutes, I presume it actually continues further, so it would be great if someone would upload the rest of it. Johnny should write his memoirs, as many other salsa stars ought to do as well. Indeed, there is a glaring shortage of biographies and autobiographies--at least in English
--by such artists and other people in this wonderful genre of music. Yes, I've read "The Latin Tinge", by John Storm Roberts and "Salsiology" by Vernon W. Boggs, but I'm still waiting for others to step up. Unfortunately the late Symphony Sid never got around to writing his memoirs either, as he said he wanted to do and whatever happened to Larry Harlow's proposed autobiography that he refers to in a TH-cam interview? Incidentally, I was fortunate enough to see Johnny and several other salsa artists perform during Montreal's annual jazz festivals some years back.

Thank you for the tips on the books brother. I was 12 in 1977. I knew the music but I took it for granted. I was a kid. I wanted to speak English. Today I look back with such pride and nostalgia. As I got older I’d discuss them with my uncle. Mi Tio was a baletero that really lit up the dance floors throughout NYC and he told me stories. Nowadays I cant t get enough. From Miami I listen and discuss it with brothers here that grew up in the Bronx as well. My desire to read those memoirs is so deep I just read Mambo Kings, for a taste....of snytgibg. I also read the memoirs of Esmeralda Santiago and I cheered out loud when she talked about how special it was to go see Ray Barreto. I was thinking Harlow would be the right guy to pull it all together: still alive snd was teaching Philosophy and CUNY. Thank you again for the tips.
Johnny Pacheco no de los músicos que mas me ha inspirado y he admirado en toda mi vida musical desde los 8 años, (naci en el 64) Tuve la oportunidad de conocerlo en veracruz en el año de 1983, en un baile de semana santa al lado del gran Luis angel swilva ek Gran melón QEPD., lo acompañó la sonora veracruz de Pepe vallejo, que gran noche aquella I N O L V I D A B L E , un abrazo cordial al maestro Johnny Pacheco.

It's a SHAME that the Company that was founded by El Maestro Johnny Pacheco, the Man who CREATED the SALSA Genre, and the Company that was just sold for MILLIONS of Dollars Doesn't see Fit to Make a Major Motion Picture of its FOUNDERS LIFE AND LEGACY. El Maestro Johnny Pacheco is in his 80's, and who knows how much longer he will be around. THIS MOVIE IS LONG OVERDUE. Apparently, the Current Owners do not have the SAME VISION AND PASSION that EL Maestro had with the MUSIC.
Other Groups have Made Motion Pictures, or Made for TV Movie of there Cultural Heroes, But the Latinos Community is Pathetic. ie. Ray Charles, James Brown, Supremes, Jim Morrison, Queen, Temptations, Bobby Brown, Biggie Smalls, Jackson 5, Whitney Houston, Ray Charles, Cadillac Records, etc, etc, etc.
Yet, we can't make a movie for a person that has given us so much and CONTRIBUTED, so much to our Culture. I guess they will wait till he's gone to make it. PATHETIC and SHAMEFUL. MAESTRO, YOU DESERVE BETTER.
Let's start a buzz so that they make a movie about him
PS: the man who discovered Hector Lavoe, and created possibly the best duo in Salsa History. What would Salsa be without Hector & Willie?
2 years ago on Facebook I tried to start a buzz to get Kennedy Center Honors to recognize Pacheco, even Tito Puente should get Kennedy Center Honors Recognition. Yet, LL Cool J can get recognized. Like I said The Latino Community is full Crap!....Pathetic!
@@deepstate3358 you should contact the lady doing the interview, who I respect! With her background, connections, and history in the community, she is the best person to contact. Also, community leader Jose Rivera and all NY latino politicians. Good luck.

Did Johnny have a mild stroke? I love the guy but it seems he slowed down a little bit over the last few years.
Latinos are full of CRAP! He doesn't even have a street in the bronx named after him. La Cuna de la Salsa. I guess they will wait to he's gone. SHAMEFUL. Como dijo El Gran Combo: Que Me Lo Den En Vida. You Deserve Better Maestro. FANIA..FANIA...FANIA..
Exactly, Que Me Lo Den En Vida! Lady, great interview but we need to uplift and honor our cultural heroes while still alive. Salsa is the Music of Our People, Our Latin Thing! Damn, Rapper Biggie Smalls got a street named after Him, YOU Kidding Me?
J5944 the community can start by buying their music and demanding that salsa is played on the radio. But that won’t happen, young people basically want hip hop & reggaeton and don’t listen or dance to salsa. So if you don’t put your money where your mouth is, nothing’s going to happen. It’s up to us and all I hear is complaints and no actions.
NOW he can get a street named after him as the person has to have passed on before a street is re-named in their honor.

"MASTER” is the word to describe this multifaceted artist, whose multiple talents as a musician, singer, composer, director, and producer allowed him to forge the careers of many young artists who entered the world of Salsa, as well as many other renowned stars, such as Celia Cruz, Willie Colón, Héctor Lavoe, Pete “El Conde” Rodríguez, Rubén Blades, Cheo Feliciano, and countless others who shared billing with him on his albums.
CREAT INTERVIEW. ..AURORA CONGRAST..
Education
I can tell that interviewer is a straight up Boricua Nuyokrikan that unique accent....I always thought Pacheco was PUERTORICAN I guess been around all those Nuyokrikan which 98% in fania was Boricuas. But this is a good interview. It dont matter where he is from the talent is what matters.
He's the reason why people were crediting Puerto Ricans with inventing Salsa in New York. He never hid the fact that he was Dominican though. If you look at interviews from the 1970's he always said he was from the Dominican Republic. For him to be able to do what he did with Fania is pretty impressive since Dominicans were not that prevalent in New York at that time.
@@deepstate3358 yes i get it. But Johnny Pacheco is an over achiever very self if you listen well the way he talks about these other Puerto Rican he criticize them using a joke behind it and then making himself look more important and he gets a kick out of it look in the interviews. He uses negative positives. Just listen how he trashed Charlie Palmieri, and tito puente. Since no one really paid him any mind he was always in the back burner ... not taking anything away ok he was the " only dominiHaitian who no one really knew or paid any mind he was a dumbinacan. Everyone says " oh damn he was dumbinacan? I guess he was the first dumbinacan family to come yo NYC at that time. To me El tipo esta Boricuanizado. Lo de domi no se le notaba ni se veia o sentia ....that's from being around the 96% nuyokrikan all the time rubbed off. But all in all he was an over achiver also like Celia cruz another one who would trash talk puertoricans after PUERTORICANS blessd her with the name LA REINA DE LA SALSA. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOLANDITA RIVERA from PUERTORICO but certain circumstances occurred shit happens. Johnny Pacheco used his funny sense of humor to trash talk others while he puts the spot light on himself. He will talk ...oh fulano was good but this and that and the other and turns around sayin" but I made it sound better and " I invented this. Yea ok hajaja in his dreams. He was a big time coke head too I remember when he would snort his nose away a miracle he last as long as he did for real. Thats real talk. No covering the sky with one finger with Johnny.
@@deepstate3358 i mean Johnny with the help of Jerry and other people involved it was impressive i mean if he didn't do it willie colon was bound to do it and others who had their eye on it. Tito puente would have to he even was gonna get his hands on it to produce fania and bobby valentin and willie rosario to an extention they were already ahead of that. Ok so he got credit to be the producer of fania with Jerry but with a tribe of 96% puertorican singers and musicians
