HARVEY AVERNE'S
COCO RECORDS
Harvey Averne is a legend in the music business. His track record runs from playing
accordion in the post-war Catskills to working with Madonna in 1980s New York. But, it is as
a producer of Latin music that his reputation rests. A man with an active mind he made Coco
Records in his own image, focusing on not just one form of Latin music, but a fusion of salsa
dura, via latin soul, disco, to latin pop. Like all the best latin labels he also made sure that
there was room for the old greats as well as the emerging talent. The rewards were
exceptional, 1975's Eddie Palmieri album 'The Sun Of Latin Music' won the first ever Grammy
for Latin Music.
This vinyl LP and extended CD represents the very best of Averne's extraordinary Seventies
output at Coco prior to his audacious attempt to sign Madonna at the close of the decade.
Includes the incendiary 'Nunca Contigo' featuring Lalo Rodriguez capturing the sound of
New York salsa and winner of the 1975 Latin Grammy Award.
