Bio

Sparks fly, rhythms ignite and hail to the king is played in afro-Cuban
rhythms. Into this world of fiery music crossing both cultures and
generations dances the young prince--Tito Puente, Jr. Natural heir to the
throne of El Rey, he is unmistakably the son, physically, spiritually and
musically of Tito Puente, seminal bandleader, percussionist and legendary
good will ambassador of Latin music.
Puente, Jr. has had two Spanish-language albums, several Billboard dance
hits and a Latin Music Award for Best Salsa Video of the Year for his cover
of his father's signature, "Oye Como Va." His second album contained the
single "Caliente" with the arrangement by El Rey himself.
Young Tito's heart is rooted deep in the musical soul of his father. But he is
staking out a future in the affectionate response of those who want a
modern edge added to the sensuous music that runs through all Latin lives.
Puente, Jr. is taking his own eclectic sound and like his father before him --
is making history and moving generations.
