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

This is my favorite of all of his albums. When I first bought this albim, I was blown away. Every single player on this album adds so much. Tito's orchestra is so tight, and all the solos are great. Song number 3,4,6,7,8 are especially good. Song number 6 apeals to me the most, because of the fat barrie line in the middle of the song, also the sax solo, trumpet solo, and of course Tito's solo. I could listen to to this whole album so many times and NEVER get tired of it. Anyone who is a latin-jazz lover should defintally pick this album up.

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.

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.

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.

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.
