 - MERICANA  H i g h l i g h t s - 

>> Long time after the close of SALSOUL records in 1984, and since the late '90's, MERICANA has been a long time unknown latin label. Because of the revival of disco acts on sasloul via ré-editions, UK records compagny such as CHARLY, have been looking very far on the lost tapes and due to JOE BATAAN little reputation, has pull the MERICANA Label under the spotlights.

MERICANA was the first label of Ken & Stan(ley) Cayre who where very important distributors of Latin & Salsa records. THe most important album was Joe's "Sal Soul" in 1973 which paved the way to the closing of....SALSOUL records.
