Got Mambo? You will be captivated by the rhythm and beat...almost stepping back into a time capsule yet with refreshing energy that will keep you asking for more! Ring out the old year at MOCA December 28, and enjoy the hot Latin rhythms of Tito Puente, Jr. and His Latin Jazz Ensemble. Showtime is 8 - 9:15 pm. Admission is free.
The comparison is inevitable. How could it be otherwise? Tito Puente Jr. carries his father within him - imprinted on his physical being and locked in his soul. It's in his looks, his joy, and his music.
Tito, Jr. is on a passionate mission. The younger Puente is determined to nurture the musical legacy left by his father. He refuses to let his father become a distant memory. "He was just too vibrant, too exciting. There was magic in the music my father made. It made people happy all over the world."
