Tito Puente, Jr.

(Downstairs on the dressing room level at the Majestic, Tito Puente, Jr. with members of his band at intermission.)
Setting the stage for a swinging evening, the Symphony began this concert with a collage of music from Mexico, Spain, and Brazil. Songs such as Chiapanecas, Malagueña, España cani, and Tico Tico were played with a special flair. On the second half, Tito and his band were accompanied by the symphony. Continuing in the legacy of his father, the legendary "King of Latin Dance," he presented works such as Machito Forever, Dejame Sonar, Mambo Gozon, etc. Concluding the concert, a rousing rendition of Oye Como Va brought the audience to their feet.
