Jose Morand And His Orchestra
WorldThe man at the center of it all! In addition to being a wildly talented Latin music composer, arranger, and musician who recorded for RCA, DECCA, and Gotham Records, Jose Morand will probably be best remembered as the founder and operator of New York’s Fiesta Records. Started in 1952, 12 years before Johnny Pacheco and Jerry Masuci would launch Fania, Fiesta was one of the first ever American record labels owned by a Latino!
