Ralfi Pagan

When you think Latin soul you relate to a mélange of R&B and mambo rhythms intermixed culturally by and for the youth of America. It was 1974, and a brash

youngster by the name of Ralfi Pagan walked into the offices of Fania Records and demanded to be heard. Fania President Jerry Masucci allowed Ralfi that opportunity,

and Ralfi auditioned for Jerry right there in his office. It took only a few moments for Masucci to realize that he was in the company of his newest recording artist; he put

Ralfi in touch with recording director, Johnny Pacheco, who hurried him into the recording studio for Ralfi's first Fania recording session.
