Release Notes:

An essential collection for most artists would consist of 12 or perhaps even 20
songs. For the man described as "El Rey," however, a man who recorded over 100
LPs during a career that touched seven decades, the parameters need to be
widened significantly. And so comes this two-disc, 40-track collection from
RCA/Legacy, focusing on Puente's prime of the mid-'50s but dipping into 1949
material to survey the beginning of his career and also selecting a lone track
from the '60s -- "Oye Como Va," his most familiar performance (thanks, in part,
to Santana's hit cover). Aside from the breathtaking pair of Complete RCA
Recordings boxes, The Essential Tito Puente is the best place to acquire a raft
of Puente's best and most famous recordings -- "Ran Kan Kan," "Picadillo," "Cao
Cao Mani Picao," "Pa' los Rumberos," "Hong Kong Mambo" (actually an alternate
take), "Dance Mania," and "Ti Mon Bo."-

Here is a definitive collection for one of the greatest artists in latin music
ever!
