Tito Puente and Celia Cruz made it pretty big world-wide, didn't they?

I was lucky enough to see them when they played over here. Great night.


with rock fans?


Hmm, well, no. Not many.


See I think Latin got stuck in this South Bank jazz / world Culture Show ghetto from which it never escaped. I remember WEA having a bit of a go over here with Ruben Blades, Gilberto Gil and a couple of others in the 80s but it was still seen as City Limits / Sue Steward territory. Big shame.

Maybe rock fans have a problem with horn-led music?
