This Saturday, May 24th, 2025, we paid tribute to legend of legends, "El Rey" Tito Puente, commemorating his transitioning twenty-five years ago, on May 31st, 2000. Ron Puente, eldest son of Tito Puente, presented a playlist showcasing his iconic father's versatility.

On today's show we also featured a brand new track by Edwin Perez, "Rumba Sin Invitación," a new release by King of Latin Soul Joe Bataan, "And I Cried," and a new recording, a tribute to the great Ismael Rivera by Choco Orta, "Homenaje A Su Majestad."
