The heir apparent of the indisputable Mambo King, the master of the musical form, toured a large segment of the continental U.S.A. and the world, presenting 50 concerts to sold out audiences and acting in the U.S. television series, “One Life to Live,” one of the hottest soap-operas on the ABC Network. However, the most memorable moment by far came with the birth of his first daughter, Miranda Cristina.“The experience on TV is a memory that lasts a lifetime,” Tito referred to his guest shot on “One Live to Live”, having been a fan of that popular soap for years.Among other activities, the performer joined the campaigns of the USO, the organization whose mission is providing aid and entertainment to members of the armed forces dispatched around the world. Last year, Tito Puente, Jr. took along his inimitable rhythms and musicianship to brighten the stay of the troupes assigned in Spain and Italy.“I have been committed to USO since 2001,” he stated proudly. It is a true honor and one of the greatest rewards of my career, to have had the privilege of bringing my music to those men and women in the armed forces, in whatever part of the world they may find themselves,” he added.“One of the true challenges of 2006 was to face the public at the concert in El Paso, Texas,” the artist remembers, refering to his participation in the Music Under the Stars Festival. “More than 15,000 spectators were watching the show, but my nerves vanished once the crowd began to chant, in unison, the lyrics to each and every song, since most were also fans of my father,” he said.Also, throughout this past year, Tito continued on his path to the title “Casino King” in the United Sates. To each evening of elegance and glamour, he added the Latin rhythm of the mambo, so prevalent in the Hollywood of the 40’s and 50’s, especially at the casinos of the Harrah’s chain, where he’ll continue performing throughout this coming year.“Other memorable evenings were the ones spent at the Friar’s Club, such a prestigious place that I’ve always wanted to visit, that reeks with an elegant nostalgia, where I found the memory of my father is still very much alive,” he said.The year 2007 promises to be no less star-studded in the life of this musician, who now readies for his upcoming appearances with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra, gathering more and more followers along the way, especially those who are aware of the Charm and charisma that this artist possesses, like his legendary father, the gift to captivate.“Still, and in spite of so much, nothing compares to the birh of Miranda,” his voice fills with emotion. “She is what’s most important, she has changed my life completely, and I only hope to be so blessed as to watch her grow and develop. She is an angel that my father sent down from Heaven to look after me. I’ve been blessed by her arrival.”Management Bridge Management, Inc.
