when is it classic and when is it stale?.......2007-04-05

I didn't enjoy this cd as much as I expected. Guess it's all in the ears of the reviewer. I had heard too much like it before and it wasn't strong enough as a classic to hold my interest.

great compilation.......2006-11-08

this CD is a compilation of Tito Puente's music, mostly recorded in the 50's and early 60's. Every selection is a winner, and if you are just getting started listening to Tito Puente's music, this is a good jumping off point. However, please note: this is not a CD of strictly "mambo" or "salsa" music, there are other selections here that do not fit that category, although all of the tunes are Latin in flavor.

Should be better known.......2006-06-16

I had the pleasure of attending a Tito Puente concert a few years before his death. The man loved what he was doing and his concert was full of joyous, dancable music. Salsa is more popular now than when Puente started his career so you would think that more people would be interested in his music. This is the type of cd to listen in the background or to just dance non stop. Too bad more people will not have the joy of listening to his live concerts.

A great first Tito Puente album.......2004-04-10

Get a great introduction to the early work of Tito Puente, El Rey, the King. Tito Puente, salsa extraordinaire and father of afro-jazz, was an incredible talent who will be long remembered. This CD is the perfect collection to get started with Puente's vast library.

Smooth latin grooves are guaranteed on every track. Scary tribal rhythms shine through on Dance of the Headhunters. As one of my friends said, if you don't bob your head to Ti Mon Bo, you probably don't have a pulse. Night Ritual, Hong Kong Mambo, and El Cayuco would rank as some of my favorites if I had to choose, but thankfully I don't.

Informative liner notes give a good history lesson about Tito's roots, how he begun, and how he lasted and played amazing music even into his older years. Puente will certainly be remembered for one of the longest lasting, highest quality musicians the world has ever seen.

A great stepping stone for other Puente albums, this will give a brief introduction to many of the styles Puente cultivated over the years. I suggest Mambo Birdland: Dancemania, a live album from the late 1990s, as a wonderful chance to hear Puente and his full orchestra in rare form, playing a live show in the Palladium, decades after his playing originally sparkled there.

A high quality album all around, a great beginning to more Puente albums. Highly recommended to any newcomers to salsa who have interest. As the liner notes proclaim, El Rey esta meurte: long live the King!

The Very Best Of Tito Puente & Vicentico Valdes.......2000-05-03

When the then young and "rookie" cuban singer Vicentico Valdes arrived in the U.S. around 1949, to join his brother, sonero singer Alfredito Valdes, it didn't take him long to team up with one of the hottest latin bands in New York City, Tito Puente and His Orchestra. At the time Tito was recording for the RCA Victor label, so he took his new cuban singer Vicentico to RCA recording studios and in less than a year more than a dozen hits featuring Vicentico & Puente hit the market with great success. "Cao Cao Mani Picao", "Donde Estabas Tu", "Mi Chiquita Quiere Guarachar", "Sacala", "El Baile del Pinguino", "Domingo Pantoja", "Arin~an~ara", "Rogelio No Me Aprietes Mas", "Lagrimas Negras","Ya No Hay Mujeres Feas", "Para Que Sufran Los Pollos", "Arroz Con Pollo", "Tu No Eres Nadie", and "Cuando Suenan Los Tambores", form the total of Vicentico & Puente's recording sessions for RCA. About 12 years later, the two giants would meet again at the recording studio (for another label) to produce other great historical classics. Valdes & Puente were a perfect combination. If you are an afro-cuban music collector, do not miss this great BMG/Tropical Series classic, while supplies last!

Hong Kong Mambo- The Very Best Of Tito Puente- Vol.1.......2000-05-08

"Hong Kong Mambo" is definitely one of the hottest compilations by "King Tito" & His Orch. during his RCA years ever re-issued. The "Tropical Series" compilations of Tito Puente are the best sounding of all other releases. Series producer Domingo Echevarria sought the best sounding first generation stereophonic master tapes for this and other re-issues. Also great bonus tracks of "original and previously unreleased out-takes" of hits like "Llego Mijan", and the album theme song "Hong Kong Mambo" makes this CD absolutely irresistible. A must for all Tito Puente and cuban music fans!
