LA HORA FANIÁTICA: Markolino Dimond - Beethoven's Fifth

Wednesday August 18 2010, 08:48:41 AM | Posted by FaniaDigital

In 1975 Fania Records produced a record called Beethoven’s V, a strange album because the two musicians taking part, pianist Markolino Dimond and singer Frankie Dante, appear dressed in the style of the 18th century European courts. La Hora Faniática tells the story of this record, one of its kind in Latin music today.

La Hora Faniática invites their listeners to get closer to the history of Fania as it never has been done before. A comprehensive tour through the albums, celebrities, anecdotes, secrets, milestones and flake outs of a label that left its mark on all Latin urban music ever since.

Host: José Arteaga

Lenght: 1 hour

LA HORA FANIÁTICA: La Raza Latina

Thursday August 5 2010, 10:15:06 PM | Posted by FaniaDigital

This was a suite that aimed to trace the history of Afro-Caribbean music, from the times of colonialism to its urban transformation in the 20th century. La Hora Faniática tells how the idea came about, how it was recorded, who took part and what happened to them afterwards.

Also, on August 14 there will be a remarkable full-length concert performance of the complete work (This is a FREE concert). Conducted by Harlow with a 40-piece orchestra and chorus, Rubén Blades reprising his historic role, and Cuban singer Adonis Puentes. It may be the high point of a highly musical summer at this year's free Lincoln Center Outdoors festival. That day Harlow will also have an in-store appearance from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon at the Borders store in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle.
