The queen clings to a tiny moment of hope in a sea of despair.
"...My boy. My boy still lives. Troy will rise again!"
From the other room, Askalaphos wheezes out a laugh.
Hope doesn't last long around here.

The Best Fania Records Soul Songs
Fania Records, the Motown of Latin music, was a New York based record label founded in 1964 by Dominican-born composer, flutist and bandleader Johnny Pacheco and Italian-American lawyer Jerry Masucci who fell in love with Latin music during a brief stay in Cuba in the early 60’s. The label took its name from an old Cuban song by the singer Reinaldo Bolaño.
Fania Records is known for its promotion of Salsa music, but the Fania sound also blurs the line between Latin music and Soul music and some of the Fania artists would mix the Latin style with Funk, Disco, Soul and Jazz.

Uni label swirl 7″ paper sleeve (1966-1973)
From the label’s inception in 1966 to ending in 1973 on MCA’s volition, Uni / Universal City Records pressed some of their 45′s with this smooth swirl motion and in Starburst colors. No relation to the Fania label who shares a similar typeset.

Hesperides Finest Fake Flowers
Her punishment wasn't quite a punishment.
Well, it was, obviously it was, the florist is shedding feathers at an alarming rate, their bones are twisting and cracking, their joints don't line up the way they should.
They've become a wretched, lazy owl. The vilest bird, the messenger of grief, a bad omen to all mankind. If only they hadn't opened their stupid mouth.
But it means they're gonna fly away from here. Out of this place. Up, up, somewhere they can finally see the sunlight.
They'll be free.
Don't tell her.

Mongo Santamaría
La percusión se despliega de manera magistral, ejerciendo una magia especial, la Fania es una orquesta de élite tropical, con gran talento y con movedizo ritmo, danzable, da cuenta de muchos registros de la percusión con cimbreantes ritmos que evoca la madre Africa.
