When I buy records, I tend to buy in multiples of three.
- A tune I like
- A classic record I should already own but don’t
- A record with a great cover
Can you guess why I bought this one?
Everyone should aspire to be as joyous as Tito Puente is playing those Timbales. It’s impossible to look at this record cover and not feel happy. Go on, try it. Go away and watch Beaches or remember a deceased pet. Don’t worry, I’ll be here when you get back. Ready? Now look at the album cover…see what I mean? It’s the only album cover I know that reverses misery. They should use it to treat depression.
So yeah, here’s some Tito Puente. You’re welcome.
The best videos, sadly, can’t be embedded so it’s boring old hyperlinks, I’m afraid:
- Tito Puente – Fo Fi (Live)
- Tito Puente – Equinox (Live)
- Tito Puente – Mambo Diablo & Stella By Starlight (Live)
- Tito Puente – Take Five (Live)
I’m open to suggestions for next week’s extravaganza. Stick them in the comments.
nice
