Tito Puente: The King of Latin Music

Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 10:00 PM on KCET

Of all the musicians who have contributed to the popularity of Latin music, none is more recognized than the man known simply as "The King," Tito Puente. His family, friends and colleagues all pay homage here: Bill Cosby, Marc Anthony, Armand Assante, Geraldo Rivera, Jimmy Smits, Paquito D'Rivera and many more.

The life of this influential bandleader, percussionist and composer - and one of the most charismatic performers of all time - is recalled through archival footage and interviews as well as excerpts from one of his last concerts.
