Tito Puente - Oye Como Va (Video Oficial)

[@blaiseandthebambina]

I got to play (trumpet) with Tito for a guest appearance at my college in the early 90’s. He was just a class act and had stories to tell that I got to share with my kids and hopefully my grandkids someday. Maynard Ferguson was our other guest that we played with that year and had some other great stories about Tito that to this day make me just bust up laughing. The body may leave this earth but true legends never die!

[@kassios]

Any story you can share? Hope you are still playing the trumpet

[@StephenEdwards-xo3zz]

Wow

[@SeraphinaPZ]

As a drummer, this is top notch rhythm. Every element here comes together beautifully, Tito Puente was an incredible talent and the band is excellent as well.

[@carlosduchesne7747]

Remembering a legend on this 16th year of his passing. I remember Tito passing through the neighborhood at times when I was a young man in the early 60s. The days when legends of Jazz hung out on the streets of NYC saying hello to old friends from the big band era and beyond. Time waits sure does fly.

[@carloszavala2992]

Cuando escucho música como la presente, mi alma se llena de un gozo indescriptible e imagino a nuestros ancestros, gente de color. Cuánto sufrimiento pero también cuánto amor a la vida, sus raíces y costumbres, todo ese bagaje cultural que nos han legado. Algunas personas tal vez se sientan ofendidas y me disculpó. Sin embargo en América y en particular nuestro país aún existe cultura negra. Personalmente me siento muy orgulloso de tener raíces de gente negra.
