Description
Dance Mania from 1958 is Tito Puente's bestselling and most essential album. Delivering incredibly tight mambo rhythms, Puente knew how to get his traditional southern American music across. Helped by an impeccable, vivid stereo production (as part of RCA's aptly named original "Living Stereo" series), this infectious mix of Latin dance tracks will get anyone up on their feet. Featuring the inimitable Ray Baretto on percussion, Dance Mania does exactly what the title says: shake your derriere like you just don't care! This record should belong in everyone's jazz, soul or Latin music record collection. Dance Mania is available as a limited edition on translucent green coloured vinyl.
Description
The complete album + 3 bonus tracks - limited edition of 500 copies only pressed on 180g vinyl. During the 1950s, Tito Puente was at the height of his popularity and helped to bring Afro-Cuban and Caribbean sounds, like mambo, son, and chacha-cha, to mainstream audiences. Dance Mania, probably his most celebrated album, features the great Ray Barretto on congas.
It was added to the National Recording Registry in 2002 and is listed among the "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die".
Includes the bonus tracks 'Oye Como Va', 'Mambo Gil' and 'Cha-Cha-Gua'.
