 Tito Puente – Cuban carnival / Carnaval Cubano ( 1956 ) New York, April 3-6, 1956

Have plus info of the singers ?

information from Tony Molina (comments he left on YouTube on some of Tito's songs where Tony sings)

One favorite album,killer groove ( CD )

Probably the big band songs are arranged by Marty Holmes (I think except the percussions & Tito)

It is not necessary to talk about the legendary percussionists.
