Celia Cruz & Johnny Pacheco: Virgencita (Jillionaire x Rocky Wellstack Remix)

In the 60's Fania Records became the top tropical Latin label in the world. They helped coin the name "Salsa" and featured the very best of the genre with albums by Tito Puente, Willie Colon and Ray Barretto. For their new project, Calentura: Global Bassment, they take classic pieces and integrate them with modern dance-floor beats.
