«CROSS-ROADS» (A Spotify Playlist)

«Cross-Roads» [click HERE for playlist] is a vial of magic, medicinal and restorative. It starts with a greeting to fathers “Elegua Changó” (Tito Puente) and the marvelous poem “Persona” (Lorena Álvarez), so lyrical…touching on truest nature. A cinematic Spanish version of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” (Elena Mendoza and Giorgio Moroder) ensues, crowned by “Brujerías Jotas” (Hidrogenesse). The seminal “Máquina” (Lissette) leads the “Maniac”-beat into “Rosa” (La Prohibida). “Ich bin Musik—Radio Edit” (Frances Barber) was written and produced by Pet Shop Boys for the cabaret show Musik. “Impressive Instant” (Madonna) gives metaphysical reckoning for “Puttin’ on the Ritz” (Taco). “Le fille venue du Froid” (Rita Mitsouko) was recorded in their home studio. It is all deeply poetic: Des paupières/Sur deux yeux a l'envers (Eyelids/On two eyes upside down).

Rico Gatson’s newly installed “Beacons” at 167 St. (B,D), celebrates the energy and spirit of individuals who have been influential within the Bronx community and have received positive acclaim for their cultural, political and artistic contributions. Gatson chose to highlight eight figures for “Beacons”:  Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Maya Angelou, Reggie Jackson, Celia Cruz, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, Gil Scott-Heron and Tito Puente. Sourced from black and white photographs and translated into glass mosaic by Miotto Mosaics, these iconic figures are set within beams of light and color, radiating with beauty and pride and inviting travelers to reflect on the past as well as find inspiration for the future.

Tito Puente – Last Life Performance Oye Como Va

By virtue of his warm, flamboyant stage manner, longevity, constant touring, and appearances in the mass media, Tito Puente is probably the most beloved symbol of Latin jazz. But more than that, Puente managed to keep his music remarkably fresh over the decades; as a timbales virtuoso, he combined mastery over every rhythmic nuance with old-fashioned showmanship — watching his eyes bug out when taking a dynamic solo was one of the great treats for Latin jazz fans...
