TITO PUENTE JR. ORCHESTRA
The comparison is inevitable. How he carries his father with him –
imprinted on his physical being and locked in his soul. It's in his
looks, his joy, his music. No doubt, every time Tito Jr. walks on
stage, he walks in his father's footsteps. He dances in
celebration, throws his head back in pure joy and lights up the
room with that oh-so-familiar smile. Tito Jr. is on a passionate
mission. The younger Puente is determined to nurture the
musical legacy left by his father. He refuses to let it become a
distant memory; "He was just too vibrant, too exciting. There was
magic in the music my father made. It made people happy all
over the world. My goal is to keep it alive, and in doing so,
expose it to a whole new generation."
