Default RIP Johnny Pacheco

The man primarily responsible for bringing salsa & Cuban music to the public thru the Fania label passes at 85.
Our local WRTI FM station (excellent fidelity) broadcasts a great Saturday night 'latin jazz' show, "El Viaje" if you are into streaming FM radio.

Big event in our household as my wife is Cuban and we are all Cuban music fans. This entire generation of awesome performers is aging. RIP Johnny.
