Volume 138: Cha Cha With Tito

Latin jazz, especially Cuban music, was wildly popular in the 1950s and my dad’s collection has plenty of examples of that. That popularity is partly because of the artist you are about to hear. He’s really known for his mambo recordings. This style of music is just a slower tempo. But not much slower.

So, get ready to hear The King of Latin Jazz in Volume 138: Cha Cha With Tito.
