Fania Records proudly presents the release of the deluxe 2-disc set entitled ''Hammock House: Africa Caribe,'' produced and mixed by the legendary Joaquin Claussell. This project is a perfect marriage between old and new, a fresh take on classic sounds from the Fania archives. What you hear on ''Hammock House'' are more than mere remixes. Each track was approached and assembled differently, each on its own terms. The first disc features nine classic Fania tunes from Lou Perez, Celia Cruz, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto and more, all re-worked with the Joe Claussell touch. Disc two is a live continuous mix by Claussell, but not like your average DJ mixing one track into another. Joe's stated goal for the mix-CD was to create and epic journey that begins in the Motherland (Africa) and moves to New York. Never has the past sounded so present!
