Frankie Dante (September 15, 1946- March 1, 1993)...his voice recognizable and his voice distinct. But more than his innovative arrangements and unconventional compositions , Frankie recorded relevant and socially conscious music that drove audiences wild. Tunes like 'Paz' stood in open opposition to war while in other compositions such as 'Ciencia Politica' decried the false promises and inaction of politicians. Unfortunately, record companies did not take kindly to these politically charged lyrics. Perhaps this is the biggest reason why we don't hear his name even mentioned in discussions of Salsa. Today, we'll be illuminating the life and work of this little recognized but phenomenal talented artist.
