Alegre Records was a New York City record label specialized in latin music. It was founded in 1956 [ 1 ] by Al Santiago who owned a 1950s record store at 8522 Westchester Avenue in The Bronx named Casalegre and co-founded by clothing businessman Ben Perlman.
The band's success led them to record four more albums for Alegre Records (Vols II–V). Pachecco also reunited with Charlie Palmieri for two albums: the 1961 jam session Alegre All-Stars and the collaborative album Las charangas. However, Al Santiago encountered financial difficulties, influencing Pacheco's decision to exit Alegre Records in 1963.

His important role in the group was reflected in songs like Estoy buscando a Kako and Kako y Palmieri.
