An interview with Latin Drumming master Tito Puente, excerpted from Hudson Music's "King of Latin Music" book, by Jim Payne. More information at HudsonMusic.com
Even the Greek community knew and danced to this mans music. Matter of fact, I had just started working at NYU when he passed away. Trust me, when he passed, it was one sad, sad day......
tito puente is and will be the greatest performance that ( the salsa) music ever had...He was and will always be the pride and joy of the Puerto Rican people period
When I was little, my parents used to play latin tropical music ALL THE TIME. I’ve hated it all my life but now i’ve found to be amazing. One of the things that has always been interesting to me was how many important salsa musicians spoke literal perfect english, my whole life I thought people like Willie Colon, Tito Puente, were straight from Puerto Rico or Cuba, only to realize most of them were American and Latino by ethnicity and spoke literal perfect English
Been listening to old Tito Puente recordings with La Lupe....incredible music, intensity was off the charts, the band was precise as hell and put down a heavy dance impulse. I have a new respect for Tito as both player and bandleader.
Hello my name is Dr. Derrick Colon. I am currently working on a documentary on the Latino influence on Hip Hop Culture. I wanted to know if I could use a clip from this video for my documentary. My project will not be monotized, and I will give you credit within the documentary.
I was so suprised when I found out he was born in america... Very shocking... Reminds me of people thinking bobby caldwell was black. R.I.P Tito Puente, The Five Beat King.
@@brucescott4261 ..no it wasn't brotha. "Complicacion" is by Aguabella. "Cuando Te Vea" is a song written by Puente and Machito. Back when Puente didnt have a band yet. He was still with Campo. Campo's is the original version in that idiom. Check it out cuz its better than Puente's IMHO. 👍

I remembered that Day Tito passed a very Somber day. New York City has one tremendous Music history. Palladium Ballroom, China Doll club Etc.
His Dad Ernesto Puente from Ponce, Puerto Rico and his Mom Elcidia Ortiz from San German, Puerto Rico. Our pride and joy.
The man was a master. He is correct on jamming. No matter what type of music.
Indeed he is one of my favorite music artist ever in music history Tito puente was so ahead of his time is absurd all time legend IMO.

He robbed the school of Tito!
I'm sure if you look underneath Tito's foot there's a stamp on it that says Made in Brooklyn
