I'm glad that the book mentions Tito Puente's turn on the "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" episodes of The Simpsons as one of the reasons anyone under the age of 40 knows his name. That me! I have listened to more Latin music in the last week than I have in my entire life up to this point. I think I'm getting to the point where I can ID an Afro-Cuban rhythm, which is exciting. This album is lively as hell, and does plenty to chip away at the cynicism of this aging rock chump.
