Description
TITO PUENTE JR. - The late great TITO PUENTE (Senior) was known as the King of Latin Music, or El Rey (in Spanish).
The 6-time Grammy award winner, graduate of Julliard, and WWII veteran, recorded over 120 albums in his lifetime, and also appeared in Woody Allen’s “Radio Days”, “The Mambo Kings”, “The Simpsons” as well as “Sesame Street”. When it comes to his son, the comparison is undeniable. How could it be otherwise? Tito Puente Jr. carries his father with him imprinted on his physical being and locked in his soul. He is determined to nurture the musical legacy left by his father. Tito Puente Jr’s 2004 album, “In My Father’s Shoes” featured classic Puente titles and was spun into a BET Jazz television special of the same name. Other CD releases include “Got Mambo?” and “The King and I” which was dedicated to the 20 years since his father’s passing and contains new music as well as mambo classics. He has appeared on television programs, such as NBC’s “The Apollo at 70: A Hot Night in Harlem”; ABC’s “One Life To Live”, and “Dancing With The Stars” plus the “2023 Hispanic Heritage Awards” which aired on PBS. Some major performances have been alongside the Palm Desert Symphony and the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marvin Hamlisch. Join us to see and hear how his legacy exudes from his namesake, the late great TITO PUENTE (Senior).
Your emcee and DJ for the evening will be Nancy Alonso. Nancy is known as “The First Lady of Salsa”, an on-air celebrity for over 18 years and co-founder of Salsa Empire Radio, an internet salsa radio station.
