About this episode
Saturday, April 25th, 2026, we paid tribute, with all our love and respect, to our beloved late icon, "El Rey" Tito Puente, in honor of his birthday. He was born on April 20th, 1923 in New York City. He and his music will be with us always. In the photo that accompanies this episode, he is pictured with Vicki Solá's son, Frank S. Grillo, in NYC, in 1994.
Celebrated Latin music radio program Que Viva La Música, created decades ago by Vicki Solá, now streams worldwide direct from the NYC-metro area on Mundo Salsa Radio (mundosalsaradio.com) Saturday afternoons from 1-6 pm (ET). Listen from any mobile device, computer, or tablet as we bring you the Salsa, Latin Jazz, Charanga, and Latin Soul of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
