Book Description

December 12, 2000
Se le conoció como "El Rey del Timbal" y llegó a encapsular todo lo que es la experiencia musical latina no solo para los latinos de los Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica sino para el mundo entero. Recordando a Tito Puente es el primer análisis profundo, histórico, musical y cultural que se le da a la carrera y la influencia de éste gigante de la música latina.

En éste trabajo seminal, Steven Loza examina el hombre y su música a través de entrevistas exclusivas con Puente poco antes de fallecer y un número de sus asociados cercanos como: Hilton Ruiz, Ray Santos, Jerry González, Poncho Sánchez y Joe Conzo, lo mismo que con el periodista de música Max Salazar y con el DJ y productor Chico Sesma. Loza nos muestra como la música de Puente evolucionó, cristalizando la música Latina en su llamativa mezcla actual de música afrocubana, salsa y jazz latino. Siguiendo las innovaciones de Puente como timbalero y director, Loza define su influencia sobre la música latina por medio siglo lo mismo que sobre otros músicos y géneros musicales. Recordando a Tito Puente es un galardón a un gran genio y a su género de música que está profundamente arraigado en la rica diversidad étnica de Estados Unidos.
----------
He was known as "El Rey del Timbal" and came to epitomize the Latin experience in music, not just to Latinos throughout the United States and Latin America but to a worldwide audience. Recordando a Tito Puente is the first and only in-depth look at the career and lasting influence of this giant of Latin music.

Through exclusive interviews with Puente and his close associates--including Hilton Ruiz, Ray Santos, Jerry Gonzalez, Poncho Sanchez, and Joe Conzo, as well as music journalist Max Salazar and former DJ/producer Chico--the author, reveals all the vibrancy and color of this consummate artist's life, work, and world. Loza shows how Puente's music evolved into its current compelling mix of Afro-Cuban music, salsa, and Latin jazz. Tracing Puente's innovations as a drummer and bandleader Loza defines his influence over the course of half a century on Latin music as well as other musicians and musical genres. Recordando a Tito Puente is a celebration of this dynamic performer and the genre that is deeply rooted in America's rich ethnic diversity.
