5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music by The King Of The Mambo, January 8, 2001

David Hernandez (Valrico, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 50 Years of Swing: 50 Great Years & Tracks (Audio CD)

This was the first and only Box Set that I have of "El Rey" and I must say that this boxed set is the greatest collection of music ever recorded it has some great songs including Que Te Pedi, Celia & Tito, Donde Estabas Tu, and Nina Y Senora to name a few. The reason I like this boxed set is because it gave you 50 of the greatest tracks ever made plus it is a great starter for people just getting into latin music or Tito Puente in general. So if you are in the mood to dance then this 3 cd set is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest Percussionists in the World, October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 50 Years of Swing: 50 Great Years & Tracks (Audio CD)

Bill Cosby approved! A great boxed set by a great percussionist! Very few musicians have achieved what Mr. Puente has done. Many of contemporary artists are in the music business just to make money, but Mr. Puente does it for the pure joy and excitement of music... oh yeah, the money's good too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tito's the greatest and '50 Years of Swing' proves it., July 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 50 Years of Swing: 50 Great Years & Tracks (Audio CD)

'50 Years of Swing' is a true masterpiece! It is composed of Tito's greatest hits over the past 50 years and some new never-before-released tracks. This set will satisfy anyone, regardless of the kind of music they listen to. It gives you a taste of real music, Tito style. You can't get any better than this.
