Tito Rodriguez at the Palladium (LP)

Limited edition 180g vinyl - audiophile pressing, the complete album + 2 bonus tracks.
Known by many fans as "El Inolvidable" (The Unforgettable One), Puerto Rican singer and bandleader Tito Rodriguezachieved great success in the 1950s during the peak of the mambo and cha-cha-cha dance craze.
He would remain a highly popular artist until his premature death on February 28, 1973, at the age of fifty.
This release presents Tito Rodriguez iconic 1960 LP At the Palladium, in which he fuses traditional Latin rhythms with Latin Jazz.
Although it was taped at that celebrated New York nightclub, this is not a conventional live recording, as the Palladium was used as if it were a studio, with no audience present, thus allowing for a recording of superb audio quality in which each instrument of his band is perfectly captured.
Recorded at the Palladium, 53rd Street and Broadway, New York City, October 1960.
