Alhough only some artists were signed under the Fania record label, the Red Garter concert associated a bevy of names with a budding record company-Fania. A two volume set Live at the Red Garter was recorded. All Stars exploded on the salsa scene. All Stars under Johnny Pacheco's leadership and for the next 17 years, the All Star group toured the world. These bad boys of salsa chronicled an era and projected Afro-Caribbean music to new heights.
All Stars still get together on special occasions, when they have the time.
All Stars have contributed equally to the legend of Johnny Pacheco. Perhaps, Pacheco's most prestigious role was as organizer and sole bandleader of the Fania All Stars. His musical style coupled with his arranging and composing produced a winning combination. Once you have a formula, you don't change it. The simpler you write, the better it is.
