Relocated to New York during the late '40s, Johnny Pacheco learned to play sax, percussion and flute in high school. In September 1959, he left Charlie Palmieri's flute and strings orchestra to organize his own. With his first recording, Pacheco y su Charanga, released by Alegre Records in 1961, Pacheco changed the sound of music throughout Latin America and ushered in the "Pachanga" (a strenous dance) era which faded out in 1964. Pacheco and attorney Gerald Masucci founde the Fania label in 1964 and with its first album, LP #325 (Pacheco's birthdate) kicked off the yet unborn salsa era in New York City. ~ Max Salazar, Rovi

You are ALL absolutely right about Pacheco, he's Dominican 100% born in Santiago de los Caballeros, RD. Pandora researchers when posting a biography on Salsa artists do some deep research first.

Pacheco el mas original, el que conserva las raices cubanas de lo que dieron por llamar salsa. Y como el son viene de RD y se crio en Cuba ahi estan Pacheco, Ray Reyes,Santiago Ceron, El Canario, Sexxapeal, Cuco Valoy para reinvidincar ese origen.

This bio about Pacheco does not clarify that he is dominican.

robertoperez . 7 4 , I find it interesting that you mention Ralph Mercado. Not much of anybody gives Ralphy the credit he deserves for keeping Salsa alive. We owe him a debt of gratitude that won't soon be paid. He was a shrewd businessman and many disliked his business tactics, but I for one learned alot.

Also, Ralph Mercado was a greater promoter than Johnny. Johnny was more of a bandleader.

dmdl53..Johnny Pacheco was not the most prolific aranger, composer & promoter of Salsa, because there were even greater arrangers, composers & promoters of Salsa in his glory days. He was though a great bandleader of Fania-All Stars & he was a great musician-flute. He did compose some songs & did some arranging, but again, there were even greater than him back then.......eustaquiocolon, Johnny nacio en la Rep.Dominican/ he was born in the Dom.Republ
The most prolific arranger, composer, and promoter of Salsa

Growing up in N.Y.C. and going to the palladium on wed. nights was a treat. Pacheco was just one of the fabulous bands that played there. Pacheco was at his best when he had his Charanga band and introduced the Pachanga dance that was basically only known and danced in N.Y.C. as far as I know. It was lots of fun. Sure miss those days!!
