Craft Latino proudly releases a reissue for Tito Puente’s foundational Latin jazz masterpiece, El Rey Bravo. Originally released on Tico Records in 1962, the album includes the legendary bandleader and percussionist’s iconic hit, “Oye Cómo Va,” plus enduring favorites like “Tombola” and “Tokyo de Noche.” El Rey Bravo features a transfer original master tapes by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio.
This reissue offers a fitting cap to Craft Latino’s year-long centennial celebration of the influential artist. Throughout 2023, the label has honored Puente’s vital contributions to Latin music through exclusive digital content and a series of releases, including Puente’s 1972 classic, Para los Rumberos, and his best-selling 1985 album, Mambo Diablo.
