Tito
Puente
talks about his custom
painted LP Tito Puente Model Timbales,
created for his 1998 summer tour of Europe.
The art for these drums, created by Manny
Vega, commemorates the international appeal
of Tito's music in the diverse countries
he has visited over the years. The timbales
were also custom crafted to celebrate
the seventy-fifth birthday of this master
musician.
