Latin
A.k.a. Israel Sanabria
Art director, graphic designer and photographer, responsible for many groundbreaking album cover designs of Salsa and mambo records that helped shape the visual identity of Fania Records, Alegre Records and other important Latin labels; former editor of Latin New York Magazine. As a host of the early 1970s TV show “Salsa,” Sanabria is also credited for spreading and establishing the term as a denomination for Afro-Cuban and NuYorican music of the era. Thus, he also goes by the moniker “Mr. Salsa.”
