Our Take

TITO PUENTE El Rey Bravo

The King of Latin Music himself, Tito Puente, graces us with his presence once again on his latest album "El Rey Bravo". From the moment you press play, you are transported to a world of sizzling salsa rhythms and infectious horn melodies that will have you dancing around your living room in no time.

Puente's masterful command of the timbales and maracas is on full display here, showcasing his unparalleled talent and decades of experience in the industry. Each track is a kaleidoscope of vibrant colours and textures, with the perfect balance of traditional Latin influences and modern production techniques.

Standout tracks include the infectious "Mambo in the Moonlight", a cheeky nod to Puente's reputation as a ladies' man, and the soulful "Bolero del Corazón", which showcases Puente's softer side.

While some may argue that Puente is treading familiar ground with "El Rey Bravo", we believe that he has once again proven why he is considered a legend in the world of Latin music. So grab your dancing shoes, pour yourself a mojito, and let Tito Puente's intoxicating rhythms sweep you off your feet.

Verdict: 8.5/10 - A must-listen for any fan of Latin music and a welcome addition to Puente's already impressive discography.
