Danbury, CT - Tito Puente Jr and his Latin Jazz Band are coming The Palace Danbury on Saturday April 22 with their high voltage celebration of jazz and Latin beats.
Every time Tito Jr. walks on stage, he walks in his father's footsteps. Heir to the throne of “The King of Latin Music”, he is unmistakably the son -- physically, spiritually and musically -- of Tito Puente, 10-time Grammy Award winner, seminal bandleader, percussionist and legendary good will ambassador of Latin music.
Tito Jr. was born and raised in New York City, feeling the rhythms of the music before he could walk or talk. Naturally, his first instrument was percussion. He had no choice… there were 50 sets of timbales in the garage. Later he added piano, songwriting and producing.
Tito Jr. is on a passionate mission to nurture the musical legacy left by his father: salsa, merengue and mambo! This is the music that moves your feet, your soul and your spirit. “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," he says. Crowds once lured by his father's magic are returning to enjoy the son as he puts his own modern spin on the music.
Tito Puente Jr and his Latin Jazz Band will make their Palace Danbury on Saturday, April 22 starting at 8:00pm. Tickets cost $49, $39 and may be purchased online at https://tickets.thepalacedanbury.com, by phone at (203) 794-9944, and at the theatre’s box office starting one hour before showtime.
