TITO RODRIGUEZ Lo Mismo Que Usted - Como.wmv

"Lo Mismo Que Usted" fue escrita por Palito Ortega, "Como" fue escrita por Chico Navarro. Tito Rodríguez (January 4, 1923-February 28, 1973), was a popular 1950s and 1960s Puerto Rican singer and bandleader. He is known by many fans as "El Inolvidable" (The Unforgettable), a moniker based on his most popular interpretation, a song written by composer Julio Gutierrez.Rodríguez (birth name: Pablo Rodríguez Lozada), born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, to a Cuban father and a Dominican mother, became interested in music as a child. He was always surrounded by musical toys, such as guitars, pianos and trumpets. His older brother, Johnny Rodríguez was a popular song composer and bandleader, who inspired the younger Rodríguez to become a musician. In 1936, 13 year old Rodríguez joined the group of Ladislao (El Maestro Ladí) Martínez, "Industrias Nativas" as a singer and when he was 16 years old, he participated in a recording with the Mayari Cuartet. In 1940, Rodríguez emigrated to New York City shortly after his parents, Jose and Severina died. He went to live with his brother Johnny, who had been living there since 1935.In New York, Rodríguez found a job as a singer and bongo player for the orchestra of Eric Madriguera. In 1941, he recorded "Amor Guajiro", "Acercate Mas" (Come Closer) and "Se Fue la Comparsa". In 1942, Rodríguez joined the band of Xavier Cugat, and recorded "Bin, Bam, Bum" and "Ensalada de Congas" (Conga Salad). Rodríguez joined and served in the U.S. Army for one year. After he was discharged, he returned to New York where he joined the orchestra of José Curbelo. On one occasion, the band performed at the China Doll Cabaret. There he met a young Japanese chorus girl by the name of Tobi Kei (b. Takeku Kunimatsu, 23 January 1925, Bellingham, Washington, USA), who eventually became his wife.In 1947, Rodríguez made his "solo" debut and finally organized his own band, which he named "Los Diablos del Mambo". In 1950, he enrolled in The Juilliard School of the Performing Arts, where he studied the vibraphone, xylophone and percussion. He renamed his band "Los Lobos del Mambo" and later he dropped the name altogether. That's when he decided to go with the name "The Tito Rodríguez Orchestra". The first song that he recorded under the band's new name which became a "hit" was "Besame La Bemba" (Kiss Me Big Lips). In 1952, he was honored for having developed his own unique singing style by the "Century Conservatory of Music of New York". His orchestra won the "Gran Trofeo Award" for two consecutive years.[1] In 1953, Rodríguez heard a percussionist by the name of Cheo Feliciano. Rodríguez was so impressed with Feliciano that he offered him a job in his band. Rodríguez discovered that Feliciano also knew how to sing and gave him an opportunity to sing at the Palladium Ballroom. Eventually Feliciano went to work for another band, but the friendship between the two lasted for the rest of their lives. Among the other orchestras that played at the Palladium were the Charlie Palmieri and Tito Puente orchestras. A rivalry, which was to last for years, quickly developed between the two Titos. The popular Latin music craze at the time was the Cha-Cha-Cha and the Mambo.

Hola a todos, necesito saber ¿si en ésta grabación esta acompañado por la orquesta de Lucho Macedo? Gracias por cualquier información que puedan brindarme. Además si fué interpretada en el 25 aniversario celebrado en El Tumi de lima Perú

@MrAntillano14 Este video viene del album TR Records TLP-00500S Stereo 'Tito Rodriguez 25th Aniversary Album". Grabado en vivo en El Tumi Club de Peru. El maestro de ceremonia fue Tito Zubiaga. El album no menciona nada de Lucho Macedo.

Sin lugar a dudas , es el rey del bolero. Su manera de interpretar las canciones asi como su gusto para los arreglos musicales de las mismas lo hicieron soberano en su gènero. Que tragedia fue haber perdido a este titan de la mùsica. Su legado musical es un tesoro. ( Cali, Colombia ).

@MrAntillano14 si, seguro, es la orquesta de Lucho Macedo y es una grabació previa al fallecimiento de Tito

[maraaparicio]

Nadie me ha hecho sentir tan emocionada cuando interpreta una cancion, como este caballero de gran voz, su voz fue unica, no hubo nunca nadie que le semejara a su interpretacion, de veras que las canciones son muy romanticas, y por eso te llegan tan hondo al corazon.
