Felix Contreras http://wamc.org en Tito Puente: 90 Years Of Getting People To Dance http://wamc.org/post/tito-puente-90-years-getting-people-dance The percussionist and bandleader <a href="http://www.npr.org/artists/15404859/tito-puente" target="_blank">Tito Puente</a> would have celebrated his 90th birthday this weekend on April 20. And the recently released box set <em>Quatro: The Definitive Collection</em> is a great place to start celebrating the once and forever King of Latin Music. It captures the driving sound of big band mambo and cha-cha-cha that launched people onto dance floors for decades.<p>When he died in 2000 at age 73, the New York City native had more than 100 recordings to his name.
