Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Vaya Puente' is a masterclass in highly orchestrated Afro-Cuban dance music. Tito Puente leads his fiercely precise big band through complex Mambo and Chachach谩 charts, driven by his own explosive, virtuoso timbales playing. The record encapsulates the golden age of the New York Latin jazz club scene.
