Rico Monaco Band’s record release in 2019 with special guest star, Tito Puente Jr., features the title song “Hey Tito”, as a tribute to the late great Tito Puente. Puente Jr. carries the maestro’s name, infectious smile, larger than life spirit, bravura showmanship and passion for sharing Latin jazz with the world. His determination to continue his dad’s momentum exposes the big band mamba sounds to those who did not experience the essence of Latin music created by his father.
