Profile:
Latin label founded by Al Santiago in New York in 1955 (his record store in Manhattan was called Casalegre - translation 'happy house'). This label went in direct competition to the Tico record label during the 1960's.
The label was sold to Branston Music in 1966, then to Roulette Records, and was subsequently sold to Fania Records, which re-released some of the back catalog on CD during the 1990's.
