      Amazon.com essential recording

      This remastered retrospective gathers together choice recordings from Tito Puente's greatest decade: the 1950s. Puente brought big-band jazz to traditional Afro-Cuban music and fostered an American craze for Cuban music, which originated in Puente's native New York City. The Best Of includes such great mambos as "Swingin' the Mambo" and "Mambo Gozon," featuring the smooth, sweet voice of Santitos Colon, and the outstanding cha chas "Que Sera Mi China" and "Separala Tambien." Other highlights include "A Gozar Timbero," showcasing Puente's enormous talent on timbales, and "Cuban Nightmare," with its blazing horns and furious percussion. The final instrumental, "Picadillo," shows off Gilberto López's nimble piano fingers while firing through a mambo jazz jam. Though The Best Of features recordings from as far back as 1950, the sound quality is outstanding. What's more, the band is red-hot, and best of all, Tito's at the height of his percussive powers. An exhilarating musical testament. --Karen Karleski

      4 out of 5 stars Increible calidad de sonido para un album tan viejo.......2005-07-07

      Yo he comprado varios albumes de musica latina classica, para poder entender mejor la evolucion de la musica. Este disco sin una duda tiene el mejor sonido que he oido que haya sido grabado hace tanto tiempo. Parte de la razon es que consiguieron las grabaciones originales para conseguir el mejor sonido posible.

      Honestamente no me gusto tanto, encuentro la musica latina moderna mas interesante. Las canciones son cortas y al punto, y a mi me gustan las canciones elaboradas y largas.

      4 out of 5 stars Very impressive.......2003-07-02

      I started getting into 50's Latin music about a year ago, and this cd made it's way to me. It's at times soothing and at times infectiously energetic. I dance to this cd while cooking or getting dressed - it's one of those cd's you dance to no matter what you're doing. Great big band, hip-shakin' stuff.

      5 out of 5 stars The Best of Tito Puente Vol 1.......2001-09-01

      To the writer Karen Tito Puente is not Cuban, he is Puerto Rican. This CD is the best. Never judge a CD by its cover.

      5 out of 5 stars Now THIS is Music!!!.......2001-03-03

      I was inspired to buy this CD after listening to "Talk of the Nation" on NPR doing a special on Tito Puente. I'm just a 29 year old white girl, and I had never heard this kind of music!!! And all I've got to say is, I don't know what that stuff was that I used to listen to, poetic ramblings and such, but THIS IS MUSIC. You can NOT sit still listening to it. You just have to get up and dance. I'm not a Tito Puente expert, and I don't know which album is supposed to be the best, but I happened to choose this one, and it's GOOD. I'm going to buy another Tito Puente album today! --Senta

      5 out of 5 stars fun&classic music.......2000-02-12

      you can never get tired of Tito Puente's music.it is pure energy&genius.the percussion&horns are no joke.this disc is a party disc.TiTo Puente deserves more props for his contributions to music.

      5 out of 5 stars Indeed the very best of Beny.......2000-09-21

      I agree with the previous reviewer. This is indeed an excellent CD and the best I have heard from Beny More (I have several). The song selections are terrific and the recording quality is remarkably very good considering that this is 50's technology. I grew up in Cuba in the 50's and playing this CD takes me back to my teens listening to Beny on the radio, only with better sound. WOW.... I also like Volume 2 as well (5 stars). Volume 3 is not as good, maybe 4 stars although it contain a very beautiful song, Mi Amor Fugaz.

      5 out of 5 stars "The Very Best of Beny More"- Vol.1.......2000-05-06

      Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of BMG/Tropical Series producer Domingo Echevarria is the famous brilliant sound, CD trilogy "The Very Best of Beny More & His Afro-Cuban Big Band", Volumes 1,2 and 3. In his seemingly neverending quest to enhance both the quality of the sound and compilations, he came across a "treasure" of "fist generation cuban and mexican analog master tapes" and immediately proceeded to create "The Very Best of Beny More" series. His first result was this CD volume 1. "Maracaibo Oriental", "Oh!Vida", "Y Te Encontre", "Manigua", "Nena Me Muero", "Que Me Hace Dan~o", "Corazon Rebelde", "El Agarrao", "Fiebre de Ti", "Las Mulatas del Cha Cha Cha", "Tratame Como Soy", "Preferi Perderte" and "Que Bueno Baila Ud." can be heard like never before. This trilogy is a must purchase for all Beny More and cuban music fans and collectors. Get them while supplies last!

      5 out of 5 stars The Very Best Of the Cha Cha Cha- Vol.1.......2000-05-07

      Incredibly good! Is the least you can say when in one CD you have such a variety of great afro-cuban orchestras and bands of yesteryear, interpreting recordings previously unheard for decades. Listen to Ninon Mondejar & his Orquesta America in Mexico interpret "La Basura", Belisario Lopez & His Orchestra in "El Cimarron", Beny More with Ernesto Duarte & His Orch. in "Cha-Cha-Cha", El Gran Fellove in "El Jamaiquino", Orquesta Enrique Jorrin featuring Fernando Alvarez in "Los Marcianos", Orquesta Aragon in the original version, first generation master tape recording of "Cachita", etc. etc. This BMG/Tropical Series 1996 re-issue will leave you "asking for seconds". Another great compilation in unprecedented brilliance in sound by series producer Domingo Echevarria & his recording engineer Dick Baxter.

      4 out of 5 stars Los primeros anos de Tito Rodriguez.......2001-05-22

      Esta produccion es la primera de una serie de 3 discos que presenta a Tito Rodriguez en los albores de su carrera artistica. Antes de que se consagrara como el mejor bolerista de todos los tiempos, este rey del bolero llego a ser conocido como el rey del timbal. Titulo que finalmente le pertenecio a su tocayo y compatriota Tito Puente. Este disco lo podra a gozar con guaguaco con los exitos "Baranga", "Asi,asi" y "Barito", y con Cha-cha-cha con "Azucar con agua" y "Los cacos del amor".
