Tito Gómez - Vereda Tropical

Tito Gómez - Vereda Tropical


Tito Gómez, Cuban singer (born José Antonio Tenreiro Gómez on January 30, 1920 in Havana, Cuba - 16 October, 2000). Tito Gómez was nicknamed Tito by local musician Miguelito Valdés. In 1938, José Antonio Tenreiro Gómez came in first place after participating in a Cuban contest, called La Corte Suprema del Arte (Supreme Art Court), joining the Sevilla Biltmore Orquesta soon after. In 1939, Gómez started singing for Orquesta Riverside, having his breakthrough after recording the hit "Vereda Tropical," composed by Mexican Gonzalo Curiel. Orquesta Riverside became enormously popular through performances on radio, television and at theaters and nightclub cabarets. During the 1970s, he sang with La Orquesta Jorrín, led by Enrique Jorrín, inventor of the cha-cha-chá. He later went solo. Gómez adds a personal, Cuban flavor to the canciones, sones, and guarachas in his repertoire. Tito Gómez epitomized the very best of the vocalists fronting the greatest orchestras of the genre.

Un gran bolerista Cubano. Pudo haber llegado mucho mas lejos, pero la vida es así. Es bueno hoy escucharlo y saber que la musica buena nunca muere.

Heartbreaking...

This is Tito with the Orquesta Riverside.

I agree: The best version I've heard so far.

The best version of all (I have heard them all). Que belleza. El fraseo perfectamente adecuado a la melodia.

I first heard this song riding in my dad's car. I was around thirteen and I liked it so much, I asked my dad to keep replaying it (not so easy with an eight track tape). My dad's been gone almost 4 years now, but every time I hear this song, I'm back in that gold 1970 Malibu, with the windows down (no air conditioner) driving from Hoboken to Union City with my Dad. Love you Papi!
