One of the unsung trailblazers within the Latin music industry, Willie Torres (b. 1929) was the original lead singer for the 1950-60s Joe Cuba Sextet. He is credited as one of the 1st mainstream Latino singers to record English words to a Mambo rhythm - Nick Jiménez' 1955 historic song and arrangement of Mambo Of The Times. His career stretched as far back as the late 1940s through to the 2010s. He recorded with most of the biggest names in the Latin music field including: Machito, Graciela, Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez, Ray Barretto, Charlie and Eddie Palmieri, Celia Cruz, La Lupe, Alegre All Stars, Louie Ramirez, Cal Tjader, Mongo Santamaria and many others. This .PDF book is a review of the albums he appeared on as a lead or background singer. Over 44 Latin music industry personnel contributed with their observations. Within its 186 pages, the work contains previously omitted data on recording session personnel, an array of anecdotes and album facts. As a result, the reader will get a quick overview of the Latin music scene from the 1950s to the 1970s and beyond. This easy read contains over 200 photos of album covers, record session scenes and candid personal moments - some of which have never appeared in print before.
