Biography
Founded in late 1972 in New York City, New York, TÃpica 73 was a salsa and charanga band founded by former members of percussionist Ray Barrettoâs group. Led by vocalist/guitarist Johnny âDandyâ Rodriguez, Jr. and four musicians who left Barrettoâs employment to form TÃpica 73, the group became one of the most popular salsa bands of the 1970s. During TÃpica 73âs decade-long existence, the groupâs line-up would change with John âDandyâ Rodriguez, Jr. being the only constant member. At various times, the group also featured singer Adalberto Santiago, pianist Sonny Bravo, tres player Nelson González, and others. TÃpica 73 was the first American salsa group to record in Cuba. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1973, followed the next year by TÃpica 73, Vol. 2 (1974). Further albums included La Candela (1975), The Two Sides of TÃpica (1977), the charanga tribute Charangueando con la TÃpica 73 (1980), and Into the 1980s (1981). TÃpica 73 split up in 1982 although they did reunite several times in the mid-to-late 1990s. Bongo player Johnny âDandyâ RodrÃguez, who had also performed with Tito Puente and others, died on August 17, 2024.
