fantastic.

Tito Puente, the Fred Astaire of Salsa!

...Brentwood, Long Island, New York early Eighties. Outdoor park, Bring your own chair or blanket'- OUTSTANDING joy!!! ThAnk you, @Tito Juniior***<3

I think I remember you auditioning for a metal band in Rockland County in the late 80’s. Does that sound right to you?

Can we get more of Tito Puente's golden latin jazz allstars that have never been seen before

On Ludwig drums!

I did not know he could swing like that on the kit. Melodic too. I've been a drummer since the mid 60s, and I've always just seen him play timbales on various tv shows. I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed. You are a great son for keeping your dad's memory alive.

Your dad was a king. Though I never knew about him until He was on Sesame street in the 90s, I started to listen to his music much later. He knew how to treat the drum!

Love the memories ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing. 😊

Awesome. A name and talent that will live on forever.

Senior Burns is my favorite Tito song

He Always seems to be enjoying whatever he's doing. Whether behind timbales or a drum kit.

He’s the man! Thanks for sharing!

Tasteful. Nice solos too.

Wow. Great footage. What a showman. Thanks for sharing!

Tito you probably dont remember me, we are a year apart. i haven't seen you since 1980.. my dad played bass with your dad in NYC in the 1950s and was on albums with him then. His name was Tony Reyes..he was on a bunch of latin samba records and bands and early cuban jazz from the late 40s through the mid 60s.. then background studio session work the rest of his life into the 1980s..

🤍

was your dad tempted to tighten the skin on his snare drum to make it sound like a timbale? lol. Loved your Dad. he visited Montreal a few times and we loved going out to hear him.

PS. Never seen him on traps before! and jazz too?! Whoa a first

He is a king in my childhood hood, El Barrio East Harlem NYC. My ancient recollection tells me the neighborhood word that he lived just a few streets down from my same avenue around just over the 100's... but I've been wrong about a lot of the recollections; not about King Tito

I used to go see Tito at the "Stratton" on Queens Blvd in the Kew Gardens/Rego Park area in the 1970's and early 1980's. Mike Davino

Thank You😇 watching Tito Sr. playing at The Riviera is one of my cherished memories

Wow! Haven't heard him played a kit before but he swings so hard and his time is so tight! And the sound is rather delicate aswell!

I watched your dad live and I am a fan

Wonderful.

Also known as: "drum kit"

My buddies and I had a Tito puente cd 15-20 years ago. We wore the grooves off of it.
