1	The Essential Tito Puente (2005) more music like this by Tito Puente An essential collection for most artists would consist of 12 or perhaps even 20 songs. For the man described as "El Rey," however, a man who recorded over 100 LPs during a career that touched seven decades, the parameters need to be widened significantly. And so comes this two-disc, 40-track collection from RCA/Legacy, focusing on Puente's prime ... see all copies from $17.69! new only from $17.69!
2	The Mambo Kings [1992 Original Soundtrack] (1991) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Providing an excellent introduction to Latin music, the soundtrack to the film The Mambo Kings mixes stellar artists of the genre including Tito Puente, Arturo Sandoval, and Celia Cruz with well-known performers with roots in the form like Linda Ronstadt and Los Lobos. This 2000 rerelease adds a remix of "Ran Kan Kan" by Olga Tañon and "Beautiful ... see all copies from $3.99!
3	Oye Como Va: The Dance Collection (1982) more music like this by Tito Puente Given Tito Puente's staggeringly prolific output of recordings, obviously no single disc can sum it up, so Concord Picante sensibly calls this compendium a "dance" collection. With the aim to keep the mambos, guajiras and cha chas moving and grooving foremost in mind, there is still a great deal of variety in this CD -- powerhouse big-band sounds, ... see all copies from $8.03! new only from $8.03!
4	The Best of Tito Puente: El Rey del Timbal! (1997) more music like this by Tito Puente Summarizing Tito Puente's numerous accomplishments on a single CD would be impossible. El Rey del Timbal!, a 1997 disc spanning 1949-1987, barely scratches the surface -- but for Puente, a five-CD box set would also only scratch the surface. But this gem-laden collection does illustrate just how remarkably consistent the salsa legend was during ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $32.98!
5	10 de Coleccion (2007) more music like this by Tito Puente Because, as the title indicates, there are less than a dozen Tito Puente tracks on 10 de Coleccion, the compilation hardly has any chance of acting as a definitive guide to the late percussionist and bandleader. Still, the ten songs that did make the cut are all good -- particularly "Lagrimas Negras," "Ran Kan Kan," and "Almendra" -- showing off ... see all copies from $6.06! new only from $6.06!
6	50 Years of Swing: 50 Great Years & Tracks (1997) more music like this by Tito Puente The concept behind this three-CD set was to pick out some of the highpoints from Tito Puente's half-century career. Unfortunately, the end results are not very well-planned. The music skips around time-wise (instead of being in chronological order), the exact recording dates are not given (just the year), and the full personnel is also absent; ... see all copies from $54.95!
7	Latin Classics, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.27! new only from $4.27!
8	The Complete RCA Recordings, Vol. 1 (2000) more music like this by Tito Puente Latin jazz bandleader Tito Puente's early years on RCA are featured on The Complete RCA Recordings with 108 tracks recorded between 1949 and 1960, sequenced in chronological order over six discs. Several unavailable and alternate takes are included along with an informative, albeit short, 12-page booklet. With over 100 Puente recordings available, ... see all copies from $124.02! new only from $124.02!
9	The Best of the Concord Years (2000) more music like this by Tito Puente The Best of the Concord Years collects 24 tracks over two discs from the final portion of Latin band leader and percussionist Tito Puente's career, which spanned six decades. During that time, Puente never strayed far from his jazz roots, as demonstrated by the inclusion of compositions by John Coltrane, Horace Silver, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $16.79!
10	El Hurracane (1987) more music like this by Esteban "Steve" Jordan Steve Jordan's second Rounder anthology in 1989 included polkas, drinking songs and a couple of more ambitious numbers that blended Afro-Latin and Caribbean rhythmic influences. Once more, his accordion playing was impressive, especially on "Que Tanto Es Tantito" and "Ran-Kan-Kan." Jordan did some tunes in English and showed his skill with ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $11.06!

13 view cover	Exitos Eternos (2007) more music like this by Tito Puente While the Universal Latino-issued Exitos Eternos is certainly not the best nor anywhere close to the most comprehensive Tito Puente collection out there, it's enough to give listeners already familiar with the bandleader's repertoire a good introduction. The ubiquitous "Oye Como Va" is included here, as is "Ran Kan Kan," "Celia y Tito" (with Celia ... see all copies from $2.16! new only from $9.43!

16 view cover	Mi Alma Latina: My Latin Soul (2002) more music like this by Nestor Torres Much like Gloria Estefan, whose hit "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" he covers here, the veteran Grammy-winning flutist from Puerto Rico has too often compromised his Latin roots in search of contemporary jazz success. This mostly extraordinary project proves that he's still in deep touch with his heritage, even if he's more or less interpreting Latin ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!
17 view cover	The Rough Guide to Tito Puente (2005) more music like this by Tito Puente Tito Puente had an illustrious career, both as a performer and as a composer, one of the most influential Latin musicians of the 20th century. This compilation draws on what could be considered his most prolific and adventurous time, the 30 years from the mid-'50s to the mid-'80s. Given the amount of material in that period, selecting just 21 ... see all copies from $10.32! new only from $10.32!
18 view cover	Colors of Latin Jazz: Mambo Mania! (2002) more music like this by Various Artists While an individual artist may provide a good introduction to an unfamiliar genre, this approach is rather limited. A lone artist, no matter how talented, can only supply a partial understanding of a style. Another and perhaps more effective method is to listen to a collection like The Colors of Latin Jazz: Mambo Mania!, a collection of 11 mambos ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $8.37!

20 view cover	Platinum & Gold Collection (2004) more music like this by Tito Puente The BMG Heritage budget series Platinum & Gold Collection works best when it covers those artists who have a short discography of prize-winners, since 12 songs may be all that most listeners need to hear of the Real McCoy or the Verve Pipe. Tito Puente, of course, enjoyed a career that lasted over half a century, most of which never appeared on ... see all copies from $4.28! new only from $4.28!

22 view cover	Party with Puente! (2000) more music like this by Tito Puente This sizzling, spicy 11-track compilation of Tito Puente's greatest works including his hottest rumbas, mambos, and what is sometimes referred to as the double mambo, the chachachá, is the closest documentation of the "live" excitement and fervor that the genius brought to his audiences during his brilliant lifetime. Packed with the vibrant energy ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!

Cuando... goes back to Puente's very earliest days as a bandleader in the late ‘40s and early ‘50s, with recordings by his original conjunto and his first big band. This was the birth of New York mambo and one of the greatest of all New York in some rare early triumphs. John Storm Roberts, Original Music, ... see all copies from $9.53! new only from $9.53!
