Tito Puente - Oye Como Va

Ernesto Antonio “Tito” Puente (1923–2000)

Of Puerto Rican heritage and born in “El Barrio” of Spanish Harlem, Puente was known as “The King of the Timbales,” yet was actually a multi-instrumentalist (noted for his vibes playing) as well as an accomplished arranger and composer. Puente was equally at home in the Latin dance and jazz idioms; his signature tunes include “Oye Como Va” and “Ran Kan Kan.” He led one of the “Big Three” Latin big bands of the mambo era and countless important musicians passed through his orchestra.

Tito Rodriguez - Inolvidable

Tito Rodríguez Pablo Rodríguez Lozada (1923 - 1973)

Known as both a romantic crooner and a sonero (vocal improviser of up-tempo dance tunes), the Puerto Rico-born Rodríguez (of Cuban/Puerto Rican parentage) also played timbales and vibraphone, recorded Latin jazz albums, and was an astute businessman as well. His most well-known tracks include “Inolvidable” and “Mambo Mona” (AKA “Mama Guela”). He led one of the “Big Three” Latin big orchestras of the mam

Caminando (Walking) It is the name of the 10° studio album by Rubén Blades with Son Del Solar, his first album after moving from Elektra to Sony International published on May 28, 1991. The album was a critical and commercial success with Latin and salsa audiences, marking a temporary return to Blades earlier coro-heavy style which marked the collaborations with Willie Colón of a decade earlier on Fania.[1][2] The album also reinstated the political content of his music,[3] though some listeners still found the social criticism lacking.[4] Blades new band for Sony, Son del Solar, includes four of the Seis del Solar members from his Elektra albums: percussionists Ralph Irizarry, Eddie Montalvo and Robby Ameen with pianist Oscar Hernández.
