Tito Puente Jr. and His Latin Jazz Band

Presented by John Knox Village of Florida at Cultural Arts Center at The Pavilion

Son of six-time Grammy Award-winner and “King of Latin Music” Tito Puente, Puente Jr. is an audience favorite in performing arts centers, casinos, symphony halls and jazz festivals worldwide. He brings a taste of contemporary jazz to the traditional mambo style.
ABOUT TITO PUENTE JR.
Sparks fly, rhythms ignite, and hail to the king is played in Afro-Cuban rhythms. Into this world of fiery music crossing both cultures and generations dances the young prince--Tito Puente, Jr. natural heir to the throne of El Rey, he is unmistakably the son, physically, spiritually, and musically of Tito Puente, seminal bandleader, percussionist and legendary goodwill ambassador of Latin music.
Young Tito's heart is rooted deep in the musical soul of his father. But he is staking out a future in the affectionate response of those who want a modern edge added to the sensuous music that runs through all Latin lives. Puente, Jr. is taking his own eclectic sound and like his father before him --is making history and moving generations.
Certainly, his father is there in the wide grin, the wild timbales, and the charisma that rushes past the footlights and tells the world that this is the music that moves your feet, your soul, and your spirit.
Puente, Jr. was born June 2, 1971 and raised in New York City, feeling the rhythms of the music before he could walk or talk. Naturally, his first instrument was percussion; "I had no choice; there were 50 sets of timbales in the garage." Later he added piano, songwriting, and producing.
He learned his craft and honed his talents playing the New York City club scene with other well-known Latin artists including the "Queen of Salsa," Celia Cruz.
