By 1963 PACHECO WAS RECORDING ON THE ALEGRE LABEL BEFORE, however, Pacheco was in search of a new home for his recordings. But rather than sign with the Alegre label, he decided to form his own. Co-founded with lawyer Jerry Masucci, Fania Records not only offered Pacheco full creative control over his work, but also allowed him to champion his fellow Latin artists, including Willie Colón, Héctor Lavoe, Rubén Blades, Cheo Feliciano, Celia Cruz, Ray Barretto, and many others. Before long, Fania would become one of the world’s most successful and influential Latin music labels.
It was only fitting that Fania’s first album was by Pacheco himself. Released in 1964, Cañonazo ushed in a new era for the bandleader, who reorganized his popular group into a conjunto—replacing violins with trumpets and renaming the outfit Pacheco y su Nuevo Tumbao (the word Tumbao translates into any number of meanings, including style, rhythm, and attitude—all of which feel appropriate to mark the artist’s new creative journey). The album also marked Pacheco’s first of many outings with vocalist Pete “El Conde” Rodriguez, a relative newcomer at the time, who would become a major star in the scene.
