50s Album Spotlight: Mamborama by Tito Puente & Hi

50s Album Spotlight: Mamborama by Tito Puente & His Orchestra

In 1955, Tico Records released their first LP. And what an album it is! Containing mega-hits like RAN KAN KAN, MAMBO INN and MAMBO WITH ME, it set the tone for what would become one of the most impactive record labels in the history of Latin music.
George Goldner, a young New York Mambo-nick was a key promoter in the late 40’s. He ascended to the top of his game by renting halls and featuring the biggest names in Latin music. Ultimately, he formed Tico and recorded the illustrious bandleaders he represented, Puente, Machito, and Tito Rodriguez, thus filling the airwaves with the exciting music New Yorkers swung to.
What distinguishes this album from other Puente favorites is that there are no vocals. So we are treated to fabulous innovative Puente arrangements and solos by members of his fabulous orchestra. At the same time, Tito shows off his skills as a vibraharpist on Ran Kan Kan, Mambolino, and Que Lindo Es El Mambo. Listen to Mamborama in its entirety here: https://found.ee/MAMBORAMA-ALBUM-LAT

When the multi-talented trombonist, bandleader and

When the multi-talented trombonist, bandleader and community activist Willie Colón teamed up with one of the greatest salsa singers of all time, Héctor Lavoe, musical history was made. The best-selling duo, who were instrumental in popularizing salsa in the United States, collaborated throughout the late ’60s and ’70s, and recorded a total of 10 vibrant albums together, including Cosa Nuestra, while also both taking part in the celebrated Fania All-Stars band.

Released in 1969, Cosa Nuestra was the pair’s fourth album, and their first record to be certified Gold by the RIAA. The LP features the pair at the top of their game, as they perform such hits as the exuberant “Che Che Colé,” “Juana Peña,” “Te Conozco,” and the bolero “Ausencia.” AllMusic called the album “a masterpiece,” adding that Lavoe’s vocals are “his best on record.”

Pablo Rodríguez Lozada (January 4, 1923 – February 28, 1973), better known as Tito Rodríguez, was a Puerto Rican singer and bandleader.

In the 1940s, both moved to New York, where Tito worked as a percussionist in several popular rhumba ensembles, before directing his own group to great success during the 1950s. His most prolific years coincided with the peak of the mambo, Latin jazz, and cha-cha-cha dance craze. 💃🏽

Join us as we celebrate La Lupe on her birth month. 🌹

She was a queen in her own right, bringing an innovative spirit to her music, which captured the imagination regardless of the genre: guaracha, bomba, son, or bolero. Only her presence was needed to revolutionize the music scene. She used her trademark “ahí namá” and “ay yi yi yi” to dominate any song she tackled with the intense, irreverent, effortless air that characterized each and every one of her recordings.
