Search - Tito Puente :: The Complete 78's Vol. 4

This is the last of four volumes of one of the most important musical projects undertaken by Fania Records. This completes a chapter in music history, where the classic Tico 78 RPM recordings of Tito Puente are made available in digital quality, with the informative liner notes of Joe Conzo (a confidant and historian' of the late 'King of Latin Music' Tito Puente). This release of Tito's classic 78 RPM includes 36 remastered tunes in two CD's. Although most tracks are Mambo's and Cha Cha Cha (like the spicy 'TJ Mambo' and 'Tito's Cha Cha Cha') the album also contains a rhythmic variety with 'Tito's Merengue' and 'Invitation.' Listen to Puente's Latin transformation of jazz standards, such as 'My Funny Valentine' and 'Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White.' An essential album and a good buy for someone wanting to familiarize themselves with how Tito Puente transformed Afro-Cuban music in New York, and a must have for collectors and dancers.
