Tito Puente Jr. with Charlotte Symphony
On Saturday evening, I attended a concert with Tito Puente Jr. and the Charlotte Symphony. Puente Jr. played some of his father's classic compositions and a lesser-known piece he wrote near the end of his life for the Orquesta Sinfonica de Puerto Rico. Two local bands I have been following, Ultimanota and Orquesta Mayor, opened up the show at Symphony Park. It was a hot and muggy night, but that didn't stop people from dancing and having fun. Here are some photos.
