Cha-Con-Cha - Tito Puente & His Orchestra

Tito Puente was a jazz and latin music percussionist. Back in the day, he would have competitions with other bands such as Perez Prado to see who would be named "King of the mambo". Tito always won. From various sources and as one can see from video, Puente was an electric performer who always stood up on the timbales. He was an accomplished dancer as well. Tito Puente is probably the most beloved figure of the music that is now mostly called Latin jazz.
