Dance Maniafrom 1958 is Tito Puente’s bestselling and most essential album. Delivering incredibly tight mambo rhythms, Puente knew how to get his traditional southern American music across. Helped by an impeccable, vivid stereo production (as part of RCA’s aptly named original “Living Stereo” series), this infectious mix of Latin dance tracks will get anyone up on their feet. Featuring the inimitable Ray Baretto on percussion,Dance Maniadoes exactly what the title says: shake your derriere like you just don’t care! This record should belong in everyone’s jazz, soul or Latin music record collection.
