Fresh from sold out concerts in Rose Theater, bassist Carlos Henriquez hosts Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Jazz for Young People family concert entitled, “Who is Tito Puente?” Henriquez and friends will demonstrate for parents and children, as well as NYC school groups alike, why Tito Puente, a legendary band leader and master percussionist, was called ‘El Rey de Salsa’ and the ‘King of the Mambo.’
Special guest Ron Puente, Tito’s first son, will join Henriquez on vibes for one tune and answer questions about his father. The concert will also feature student musicians from Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Middle School Jazz Academy as well as a team of Latin dancers. Recommended for ages 6 and older.
To further the educational experience, free family friendly pre-concert activities will begin at 12:15pm and 2:15pm in the Atrium.
Culture Mom will be there on Saturday and I truly hope to see you there!
