Thanks for posting this.... Thank god Tito and other fantastic Caribbean musiciancs weren't ASSES like some youtube idiots fighting on who has the bigger bragging rights.
Why are we arguing? We should be happy that a legend put us all on the map... Our music has so much vibe, so much energy... I pride myself with this music... And any other Latino Music to anyone who wants to learn about it! I pride myself of my Cuban, Puerto Rican, Columbian, Mexican brothers of any good music. We're Latinos... And our Latino Legend "TITO PUENTE" was far ahead of his time! That's pride!
No le hagan mucho caso a los cubanos. Esta gente se inventaron hasta la luz solar. La musica la llaman afro-cubana el cual es un termino incorrecto ya que se conoce como musica afro-antillana. Las raices de la musica NO estan en ninguna de las antillas. Nuestras raices musicales estan en Africa. Los cubanos desarrollaron un ritmo llamado SON, eso es todo pero se apropiaron de todos los ritmos que surgian de otras islas. El Cumbanchero, autor: Rafael Hernandez Marin nacido en Aguadilla, PR.
I don't think the Portarricans simply copied Cuban music at all. They added their own ingredients, IMHO, often for better, usually for worse or indifferent results.
Whatever he claimed to play, Tito Puente never played like a Cuban or like any of the better Portarrican percussionists. He was a showman and made his name even among Latinos, I suspect, because he crossed over to a white audience when that was a popular aspiration. Anyone wanting to play or hear pailas, go elsewhere.
les quiero decir una cosita... la salsa no = musica cubana. salsa tiene SUS RAICES en cuba, puerto rico, y los EEUU. Pero salsa eh otra cosa porque en NY los nuyoricans combinaron musica cubana y puertorrique~a Y TAMBIEN SE IMPLICO UNOS INSTRUMENTOS DE EUROPA como el piano, trompeta etc.... por eso la salsa fue creado por puertorrique~os. Mi gente, por favor no confusen SALSA con guaguanco o otros ritmos sabrosos de cuba. ------ "q tal Mr. cumbanchero" jajajaja
@severstreet34 tambien estas mal porque la salsa viene de la GOYA!!!! jajajaja es tripiando pero nah la salsa viene de africa los ritmos se mezclaron en cuba .. soy Boricua pero hay que admitir que no es de nuestro origen aunque nosotros la perfecionamos .. como lo hacemos con todo .. igual el reggaeton y el merengue ..

Me acuerdo de ver este especial por TV, cuando ya Rafael Hernández se encontraba enfermo y hospitalizado. Sólo tenía 8 años pero la buena música siempre quedó grabada en mi alma, como toda la del Jibarito
De esos 4 puntos el origen definitivo fue Cuba pero no se puede descartar las aportaciones de los priqueños, mexicanos, neuyoricans y niuyocubans. Como dice gomerijos la cosa no es tan sencilla.
Rafael Hernandez fue parte del efervecer creativo de la musica latina desde los 1930's hasta su muerte. Los ejes de este movimiento creativo fueron Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico y New York. ¿A donde fue a parar Arsenio? ¿Donde fue mas famoso Benny More? ¿Cougat, Perez Prado, Mongo Santamaria? Aun antes las grandes orquestas, sextetos y septetos ¿a donde hacian giras y ganaban dinero para vivir de la musica?
@wilsuzuki, si la cosa fuera como usted dice, que los priqueños le robamos la musica a los cubanos, entonces los cubanos le robaron la musica a los africanos y a los europeos y asi sucesivamente. Toda la musica moderna es derivativa. Estoy seguro que los cubanos que crearon estos generos no son tan mezquinos como usted, estoy seguro que al crearlos los ofrecieron a la humanidad como patrimonio.
puerto rican / cuban music is phenomenological! the rhythms / tempo and harmony of both are a joy. the music is not an exception, you MUST try their wonderful food...

@wilzusuki what the hell r u talking you dirt bag, this its from rafael hernandez, born in puerto rico, you idiot, wich makes all of his compositions puertorican, do some research and learn before you say something like that you idiot. and watch what u say about us
@wilzusuki This stupid comment comes from a stupid 18 years old bastard who played Naruto or with his little stupid dick. Kid please get a life and leave the smart comments to the adults. Please stay in school so you can learn a little bit more.
the fact that people thought this was a Cuban song points to one of the many things Puerto Rico has in common with Cuba. my grandfather was Cuban, but Im Puerto Rican, proud of ALL my heritage.
Rafael Hernandez one of the greats from Puerto Rico. No this is not a Cumbia which is Colombian, this is a Guaracha/Rumba beat both are Cuban genres. Cumbanchero is 100% Cuban Music written by a Puerto Rican. The music of PR are Bomba, Plena and Mazurca. Not many Ricans play it today except in the hills of PR. Most Puerto Ricans play Cuban music like the Mambo, Cha Cha Cha, Guanguanco, Son, Guajira, Montuno, Troba, Bolero, Charanga, etc. Just to name a few. The newest ones are Songo and Timba.

@felitoelpingu Su comentario demuestra total desconocimiento e ignorancia de la cultura musical de nuestro pais y del origen de los distintos ritmos que existen en las antillas.Si nos dejamos llevar por su teoria entonces muchos de los ritmos que usted menciona son haitianos,pues sus origenes vienen de la imigracion de Haiti debido a la guerra de independencia de esa nacion.Esa es la historia.Se me olvidaba "Cachita" tambien es de Rafael Hernandez.
To all you LATINOS when it came to music god certainly put you in the queue first,certainly makes you dance, even on a typical shitty British winter s night, we ADORE this music!!!
But perhaps it is..., "The cumbia is played in 4/4 time with a heavy beat one and accentuated beats three and four, giving a loping rolling rhythm similar to "riding a horse".
escuche una version de este tema en una parte del documental Fallen Angels, sobre viejas ex bailarinas del Tropicana; alguien sabe quien la toca? GRACIAS!

@guatiao55 No not a Cuban song, just written in a Cuban way. No disrespect to the late great Rafael Hernandez, none at all, for he loved Cuban Music just as much as the rest of us!
@guatiao55 tito puente was puerto rican too, but he also admitted that the music he played was mostly cuban...it may have been written by a puertorican but this music, much like the music being played throughout the 50's and 60's has its origins in cuba and practically most of it is cuban...puertoricans swear they invented salsa too....hahaha i laugh...they just called it that...its like cubans made the whole cake and puertoricans were the icing....at best
@ecuaagua20 At the end of the day, this is all about the big Sister (Cuba) being kicked off the stage by her little sister (Puerto Ricans). Cubans swear that they taught PR's all they know about music. The ironic result - the student kicked the teacher's butt big time and I mean BIG time. Cubans might have the bragging rights that many of the sounds have Cuban origins, but PR's added that MUCH NEEDED EDGY kick n THAT'S what made the music much more culturally & commercially popular. Jus sayin
@allbuttssoldout Cuba was kicked out by a guy call Fidel Castro who after the 59 revolution cut ties with the US. Before Cuban dominates the tropical music in the US as well as Mexico the two biggest stages for Latin Music at the time and still the best money makers now. Nothing against PR. Just like now other Latin countries like Colombia and Dominicana have gotten into the game in sales in US. Remember the so call Salsa was basically a New York project not PR.
BY THE MOST PART PUERTORICAN'S MUSICIAN............... I DON'T CARE WERE THE SALSA COME FROM IF SOUND GOOD ....................I COULD COME FROM CHINA....SALSA IS SALSA.GOD BLESS ALL LATINOS
@ecuaagua20 - not sure I agree that PR musicians claim to have invented Salsa. But they definitely took it to a higher level just like the Beatles & Stones did with classical Rock during the British invasion. Fusion and evolution are what makes Rock n Roll and Salsa legitimate art forms.
@ecuaagua20 Salsa music roots are Cuban but i will recomend to all the puertorrican haters to listen just cuban music and forget the puertorrican contribution to salsa and just listen to Benny More,Sonora Matansera,Arsenio,Buena Vista,Irakere,Los Van Van,Celia etc. All great music but you wil miss Puente,Barreto,Lavoe,Willie Colon,Roberto Rohena,El gran Combo,Sonora Poncena,Frankie Ruiz,Willie Rosario,Tommy Olivencia,Ismael Rivera,Ismael Miranda,Cortijo,Tito Rojas,Palmieri,Joe Cuba.......
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I love this cuban song donw to earth, I like Tito Puente's style but I give same credit to Cuban Dezi Arnaz to perform this song i "I love Lucy show" is just lovebly to hear it play. I am from Lima Peru. Come on to visit Machu Picchu and hear our andean music too !!.
Thanks-In the 1953 I booked him in Cleveland at an Arthur Murray ball & my partner & I (who is now my wife) danced to his orchestra there & at the Palace Theatre.We were to have dinner with him- he died 2 days before the scheduled date.
I saw Tito live several times in the 90's and he was still amazing even at that age. He was already gray so footage of a young Tito is pretty cool to see. He's incredible in this footage and he was still incredible when I saw him. A master of his craft and an outstanding performer.
muy bueno very good .hay q ver lo historico del monseñor tito puente era blanco y si hubiese sido negro yo creo q en ese tiempo no le hubieran dicho ""quetal mrs.cumbanchero"" jajaja al contrario lo hubieran despreciado pero bueno para mi es uno de los mejore videos q he visto de don tito puente.. gracias por subirlo...
I agree Jonathan....The complete musician....there are many greats now, but there has not been 1 that can do or have done what El Maestro has done. Amazing! RIP Tito
This was presented by Banco Popular as a commercial tribute(after all they are a bank) to the music of composer Rafael Hernandez ,is not a rare video since it was widely broadcasted to all Puerto Rico New York and Latin communities back in 1965.
Arturo Morales Carrion was the host with Raul Davila
along in this presentation was BObby Capo,Myrta Silva, and others I believe Chucho Avellanet and Ruth FERNANDEZ are alive
vaya dios mio con la sinfonica de rafaelhernandez dirigiendola,el mismo r.hernnadez vaya a rumba rumba rumba rumabsero abongo bongo bongo bongosero chiquitito va sonando tumbasero bongosero que se va se vaaaaaa bongoseeeeeeerooooooooooooooooooooo guauuuuuuu (despues en salsa
una realeza como dice este comentarista cuando el compositor mas grande del mundo de la musica y director musical rafael hernandez fue con pablo kasals y luis muñoz marin a la casa blanca el presidente kendey los reciibio con tan agrado yo tengo ese video y vaya aki por primera ves se deja conocer el que algun dia seria el gran "el reydel timbal" con celia cruz y tito puente)
In the 1950's I danced at the Palladium Ballroom when Tito played. In 1953 I brought him to Cleveland, Oh to play at an Arthur Murray Ball. We bacame friends & I saw him many time in New Yoyk & the Catskills.We were to have dinner with him in Cleveland after a performance & he died 2 days before.
Sad that all the great artist have all passed away. They need to make a movie after Tito and Celia, but someone that actually will make a good script.

El Cumbanchero is not a Cuban song. It was written by Puerto Rican composer Rafael Hernández.!!
guatiao55 3 years ago 53
@guatiao55 No not a Cuban song, just written in a Cuban way. No disrespect to the late great Rafael Hernandez, none at all, for he loved Cuban Music just as much as the rest of us!

@guatiao55 El Cumbanchero was composed by Rafael Hernandez of Puerto Rico but in Cuban style music. In Rumba/Guaracha style.

@guatiao55 tito puente was puerto rican too, but he also admitted that the music he played was mostly cuban...it may have been written by a puertorican but this music, much like the music being played throughout the 50's and 60's has its origins in cuba and practically most of it is cuban...puertoricans swear they invented salsa too....hahaha i laugh...they just called it that...its like cubans made the whole cake and puertoricans were the icing....at best

@ecuaagua20 At the end of the day, this is all about the big Sister (Cuba) being kicked off the stage by her little sister (Puerto Ricans). Cubans swear that they taught PR's all they know about music. The ironic result - the student kicked the teacher's butt big time and I mean BIG time. Cubans might have the bragging rights that many of the sounds have Cuban origins, but PR's added that MUCH NEEDED EDGY kick n THAT'S what made the music much more culturally & commercially popular. Jus sayin

@allbuttssoldout Cuba was kicked out by a guy call Fidel Castro who after the 59 revolution cut ties with the US. Before Cuban dominates the tropical music in the US as well as Mexico the two biggest stages for Latin Music at the time and still the best money makers now. Nothing against PR. Just like now other Latin countries like Colombia and Dominicana have gotten into the game in sales in US. Remember the so call Salsa was basically a New York project not PR.

BY THE MOST PART PUERTORICAN'S MUSICIAN............... I DON'T CARE WERE THE SALSA COME FROM IF SOUND GOOD ....................I COULD COME FROM CHINA....SALSA IS SALSA.GOD BLESS ALL LATINOS

@ecuaagua20 - not sure I agree that PR musicians claim to have invented Salsa. But they definitely took it to a higher level just like the Beatles & Stones did with classical Rock during the British invasion. Fusion and evolution are what makes Rock n Roll and Salsa legitimate art forms.

@ecuaagua20 Salsa music roots are Cuban but i will recomend to all the puertorrican haters to listen just cuban music and forget the puertorrican contribution to salsa and just listen to Benny More,Sonora Matansera,Arsenio,Buena Vista,Irakere,Los Van Van,Celia etc. All great music but you wil miss Puente,Barreto,Lavoe,Willie Colon,Roberto Rohena,El gran Combo,Sonora Poncena,Frankie Ruiz,Willie Rosario,Tommy Olivencia,Ismael Rivera,Ismael Miranda,Cortijo,Tito Rojas,Palmieri,Joe Cuba.......

I saw Tito live several times in the 90's and he was still amazing even at that age. He was already gray so footage of a young Tito is pretty cool to see. He's incredible in this footage and he was still incredible when I saw him. A master of his craft and an outstanding performer.

This was presented by Banco Popular as a commercial tribute(after all they are a bank) to the music of composer Rafael Hernandez ,is not a rare video since it was widely broadcasted to all Puerto Rico New York and Latin communities back in 1965.
Arturo Morales Carrion was the host with Raul Davila
along in this presentation was BObby Capo,Myrta Silva, and others I believe Chucho Avellanet and Ruth FERNANDEZ are alive

Quite possibly the GREATEST percussion performance of all time.
I have not heard this segment since 1965 and thought I never would again. Thank you and God richly bless you for presenting it.
