From foxy Latin vibraphone jazz that evokes tight skirts & high heels to nastyass congo funk that brings lowered cars with speakers in the trunk to mind instead, the Fania label spent 25 years with a lock on New York's hip-wigglers. Here's a great overview of the label & its subsidiaries Tico, Vaya, Alegre & Cotique. Definitely don't miss La Lupe's bizarro version of 'Fever'.
