Puente Tribute Vid 7 feat. Eddie Palmieri.....

This is the last of the series of videos in which Tito's orchestra pays tribute to the late great Puente. Eddie and Tito had recorded a CD together in which the tune Picadillo was featured. Here Eddie recreates some of those moments with the orchestra as several members such as Mario Rivera, John Walsh, Ray Vega and Bernie Minoso are given solo spots to show their stuff. Eddie also takes a rare timbal solo to cap the evening.

Ricardo Lemvo, Angola born of Congolese parentage fell in love with the Son sound of proponents such as Pacheco. This led him to form his own band here in the USA where he had come to study. Called La Makina Loca, the band has recorded 5 CDs over the last ten years and tours regularly all over the world. These videos were shot by Alfie Alvarado.
