TITO PUENTE Orchester

Kurz-Bio:
Der Jazz-Musiker, Komponist und Orchesterleiter Tito Puento, der die Salsa- und Mambo-Musik später nachhaltig beeinflussen sollte, wurde am 20. April 1923 in New York City als Ernest Anthony Puente Jr. geboren und verstarb am 31. Mai 2000 ebenda. Als Sohn puertoricanischer Eltern wuchs er in El Barrio, auch besser bekannt als Spanish Harlem, im newyorker Stadtteil Manhattan auf. Ursprünglich wollte er Mambo-Tänzer werden, da er aber die Instrumente Saxophon, Klavier, Vibraphon, Timbales, Congos und Bongos sehr gut beherrschte, zog es ihn immer mehr zur "ausübenden" Musik und damit heimste er mit der Zeit Titel wie "El Rey del Timbal" (König der Timbales) oder "King Of Mambo" ein.
