1957 Recordings Exploring Latin Percussion on Vinyl LP!

Timbalero and vibraphonist Ernesto Antonio “Tito” Puente (1923-2000) is known for his Latin albums, their convoluted but accessible and feisty percussion segues and the introduction of the mambo subgenre to North American ears. There is, however, only one album where he truly concentrates on the Latinized percussion side of things, and it may be both his most experimental or reduced and his best exotic work at the same time. This 1957 recordings – originally by the name of Top Percussion – brought together Tito, Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo, Aguabella, and Julito Collazo on percussion with vocalists that included Mercedita Valdez, in seven wonderful cuts of traditional and (then) contemporary Afro-Cuban skin-on-skin. Then as an unexpected gift, there is a seven-minute Latin-jazz suite featuring Puente’s considerable jazz-arranger head and a powerful band with Doc Severinson on lead trumpet.
