| Tito Puente, Jr. - new 'Mambo Ambassador' In the past two years, Tito Puente, Jr., the musician of Puerto Rican descent has learned to carry on the tradition of his father, becoming a constant presence at top drawer casino venues including the Tropicana Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, Deleware's Dover Slots, Diamond Desert Casino in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the Horseshoe Hotel & Casino in Bossier City, Louisiana. His ongoing agreement with the Harrah´s Hotel & Casino chain has taken him to sold-out appearances in East Chicago, Phoenix and San Diego. "Our goal is quite simple to bring the music of Tito Puente to the younger generation the offspring of the audiences who, just decades ago, danced to his the music at the Palladium, or Roseland in New York City", said music entrepreneur/manager Frank Fiore, CEO of Bridge Management, Inc., who represents Puente, Jr. exclusively worldwide. "Tito Puente, Jr. continues to carry the torch once held high by his Dad; so much so that his show resembles those of the 50's and 60's, where a large sector of the Italian and Jewish communities in New York found, in Latin music, a new source of entertainment", added Fiore. "Well, it's happening all over again. We're seeing it at every concert. He is without a doubt the world's new 'Mambo Ambassador'". write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
