The Cuban Pull-Thru

Hey guys, it's Wednesday. I don't know about you but I am definitely needing some sweet succulent tunes to wrap my mind around to get through the rest of the day. I'm looking at you, Tito and Celia. Let's do this.

Hong Kong Mambo- Tito Puente (1958)

These youtube videos do no justice. We must watch him in action. A true sorcerer of percussion.



I know, you're thinking "WHOA, I like toe tapping to this 'mambo' stuff, but how do I dance to that?" -Fear not, I got you covered..





Celia Cruz on the other hand...


An iconic risk taker for sure. She will wear any funky flip-flop you give her and make you think she invented the toe. While I encourage you to check out vintage Celia (Mambo Kings), I'm really interested today in what she's been up to lately-



Celia, you're nuts. I can only hope wigs still come in Orange Julius when I reach retirement. Thank you Ms. Cruz for the strength I needed to shake off this September slump and whoop in the cool days of October. Did someone say LAYERS?!
