Tito Puente And His Orchestra - Rico Melao El Espejo

Review by Annicken Dedekam Råge

Rico Melao El Espejo by Tito Puente And His Orchestra is a captivating album that showcases the legendary musician's immense talent and diversity. The album features a fusion of Latin jazz, mambo, and salsa music, all of which are delivered with precision and passion by the orchestra.

Tito Puente's signature style of blending different genres of music is evident on this album, with tracks like "El Espejo" and "Rico Melao" seamlessly combining traditional Cuban rhythms with jazz and big band sounds. The album also features some slower, more romantic tracks like "No Me Platiques" and "Un Poco Mas" which highlight Puente's ability to evoke emotion through his music.

The orchestra's musicianship is exceptional, with each instrument shining through on different tracks. The horns are particularly impressive, adding depth and texture to the already rich sound of the orchestra.
