Music Tasting 29

 


"In honor of US Hispanic Heritage Month, today's animated video Doodle celebrates the life and legacy of American "Nuyorican" musician and internationally-renowned entertainer, Tito Puente."


To this date, his best-selling track.


Tito loved the Cha-Cha rhythm, and this song is one of his most famous pieces.


He was heavily influenced by Big Band jazz, and this song combines the American and Latin traditions.


For Latin Jazz though, this one's named as his most famous.


"A song where you can fully appreciate the ability Tito Puente had playing the vibes."
