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.

It's been good thus far. Enjoying the footage and hearing the tales very much. Some great tunes, playing and dancing. Something about a latin rhythm section in full swing that's totally joyous. It's made me jot down a few names and want to explore more.
BTW, there's to be a Metal Brittania prog (or maybe series?)on in March I think. I'm looking forward to it, but I expect it'll be a bit like the Prog Brittania one they did - enjoyable to watch and nice to see bands and artists you don't usually get to see on telly, but something of a retread and pretty incomplete.

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?
