OLDIES SUNDAY: Tito Puente – Oye Cómo Va (1962)

Posted on by swadedavillain

We’re celebrating “Hispanic Heritage Month” on Oldies Sunday. Hispanic Americans made significant contributions from entertainment, to sports, to pop culture, and we have highlighted a number of them. Today’s feature comes from Puerto Rican-American Musician Tito Puente with the track, “Oye Cómo Va“.

Composed by Tito Puente and released through Tico Records in 1962, “Oye Cómo Va” is a celebration of rhythm, as it features very little vocals. Carried by horn, percussion, piano, flutes, and string arrangements, the Cha-Cha-Chá track encouraged dancing, and plenty was done when this was released. The track was inspired by Cuban Composer Cachao’s Mambo track “Chanchullo” from 1957, and listeners could hear the similarities in the arrangement. “Oye Cómo Va” was featured on Puente’s 1962 album, “El Rey: Bravo“, and success for the track came soon after as it was covered by American Rock Band Santana (lead by Mexican-American Musician Carlos Santana) in 1971 to high chart placements, and a place in the Latin Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2001, and the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2002. The track was also covered by Joe Cuba, Julio Iglesias, Celia Cruz, Kinky, Natalie Cole, and Chisato Moritaka.

Since the release of “Oye Cómo Va”, Tito Puente went on the enjoy a decades-long music career, dabbled in making TV appearances, collected awards and accolades, and shared his music with the world stage until his passing in 2000. “Oye Cómo Va” remains one of his most recognizable compositions, and a representation of the interconnectedness, transnationality, and hybridity of Latin Music in the US.

Posted on by swadedavillain

If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few days, International Music Executive/Producer/Recording Artist/Mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs was arrested by the FBI for a number of charges that range from racketeering, to sex trafficking. He is currently detained in Brooklyn, New York, and the public has been invested in the developments, and sharing theories about who may be committing heinous crimes with the “Diddler“. Dub Poet Delroy Chandler a.k.a. DYCR used his platform earlier to share his thoughts on the situation, and released a new selection called, “You Did It Diddy“.

Over Reggae production, DYCR asks the important questions on “You Did It Diddy”. He asks Diddy about his current allegations, his involvement in the deaths of Rappers 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., and emphasizes that he should be punished for his crimes. The Feds have been watching Diddy for a while, and DYCR urges the former Ciroc Spokesperson to admit it all, and let the law do its job. What a poco poco indeed. DYCR’s charged delivery makes for this selection one to really listen to, and his social commentary has been connecting with many this year as he shared pieces about Vybz Kartel’s release, and even recorded over the “Dutty Money Riddim“. As the world awaits news on Diddy, DYCR continues to let his creativity flow with new selections.
