Dive into the vibrant legacy of Ansonia Records with "Salsa Con Estilo," a 2-LP compilation that traces the evolution of salsa from its roots to its peak, offering a snapshot of the New York salsa scene through the music of the label's catalog.

Ansonia Records, a crucial family-run business in New York's Latino community, played a significant role in shaping the Latin music scene.

Led by Rafael "Ralph" Pérez, the label captured diverse sounds from the Caribbean and beyond, featuring legendary musicians like Arsenio Rodríguez and Myrta Silva.

The first LP, "Roots of Salsa," showcases the label's danceable rhythms and strong choruses, which served as a template for salsa bands.

The second LP, "Salsa Boom," introduces hidden gems from the 1970s salsa boom, where Ansonia Records held its own against larger competitors.

"Salsa Con Estilo" serves not only as a musical journey through the evolution of salsa but also as a testament to Ansonia Records' lasting influence on the New York salsa scene, forever etching its name in the annals of Latin music history.
