The music world celebrates the life of Johnny Pacheco. Born 25 March 1935 in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, Pacheco is recognized for his success in globalizing salsa and other tropical music. The Dominican musician founded the Fania All Stars to promote tropical Latin music. He died at 85 after being hospitalized for pneumonia in New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He migrated to New York as a child. His father was a bandleader and clarinetist for the celebrated Santa Cecilia Orchestra in the Dominican Republic. While he has transcended for his efforts promoting others, he also composed many songs that became classics \u2013 such as \u201cLa Dicha M\u00eda,\u201d \u201cQu\u00edtate Tu Pa\u2019Ponerme Yo,\u201d \u201cAcuyuye\u201d and \u201cEl Rey De La Puntualidad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
