together as the Mambo Legends Orchestra. The Mambo Legends Orchestra brings all of its incredible
musicians together under their new name to bring their music to an international audience and to further
explore the music which they have been masters of playing for over 30 years. The Mambo Legends
Orchestra is led by John 'Dandy' Rodriguez, led and musically directed by Jose Madera, and led by Mitch
Frohman, each having spent over 25 years working with Tito Puente. The focus of the band is driven by
their dedication to keeping the sound of the 50's and 60's Palladium era music thriving and moving
forward. The Orchestra has successfully kept the sound of the Big 3 (Machito, Tito Rodriguez and Tito
Puente) alive and well, while allowing for its progression by working with new musical concepts. John
'Dandy' Rodriguez John grew up in New York City at a time when it was the heart and soul of Latin Jazz
in this country. In 1962 at 17 years old John earned a place playing Bongo's in the Tito Puente Orchestra.
This was the beginning of John's career and of a lifetime association with the King of Latin Music, Tito
Puente. John spent over 30 years with the Tito Puente Orchestra, also working with Tito Rodriguez from
1965 to 1968 and with Ray Barretto from 1970 until the end of 1972. John went on to form his successful
'Tipica 73' band in 1972, which he was with until 1979. Following this he went back to work with Tito
Puente, playing alongside him until the time of his death in May of 2000. A recent reorganization brings
the former Tito Puente musicians together as the Mambo Legends Orchestra; as the band furthers its
reach and continues to create music which overwhelms the senses and gives audiences worldwide a new
standard for music of this genre. Over the course of his career, John has been recognized as one of the
greatest players and innovators of Latin music. Working with Martin Cohen (the founder of Latin
Percussion), John has opened many doors for Latin performers, spurring a recognizable change in Latin
performers' abilities to entertain in Europe and around the world. John continues to work tirelessly to
promote Latin music and further its progression worldwide. Jose Madera Born in New York City, son of
Jose 'Pin' Madera, who was the first arranger for the Machito Orchestra, Jose spent 31 years with the Tito
Puente Orchestra. While there, he served as a percussionist and later went on to become a musical
arranger and the musical director of the orchestra. He has written many arrangements for countless
commercial Latin artists and has recorded or worked with many of them as well. Some of them include
Larry Harlow, Johnny Pacheco, Chico O'farill, Machito, Graciela, Mario Bauza, Willie Rosario, Earl
Klughand, The Lincoln Center Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra, Celia Cruz, Tito Rodriguez, Fania All-Stars,
Willie Colon, Joe Farrell and Eddie Palmieri to name a few. Jose has also worked and recorded with
many pop, R&B and jazz artists. Some of them include Diana Ross, James Brown, Dizzy Gillespie,
Paquito D'Rivera, George Benson and Lionel Hampton among others. Mr. Madera has performed on over
200 recordings. He has worked on several television show soundtracks, the most recent being 'The
Simpsons' and several motion picture soundtracks, the most recent being 'The Mambo Kings Play Songs
of Love', where he was the musical arranger and conductor for the Tito Puente segment of the film. Jose
also taught the art of playing Latin percussion instruments at BOYS HARBOR in New York City for 28
years. He is currently a Latin Percussion Company endorser/artist and has done and continues to do
musical clinics around the country at various schools. He was the musical director of the Latin Giants of
Jazz from 2001 to 2009. Jose continues his musical direction with the Mambo Legends Orchestra, a band
comprised of former members of the Tito Puente Orchestra, which is dedicated to performing new
creative Latin and Latin jazz concepts, as well as some of the music of Machito, Tito Rodriguez and Tito
Puente. Mr. Madera has personally recreated and re-arranged much of the music that those bands
performed during the heyday of the mambo at the Palladium Ballroom in New York City, considered by
many critics to be the 'Greatest and most innovative era' in the history of Latin Music. Mitch Frohman

mambolegends.com) The best Salsa OrchestraIN THE WORLD By EILEEN TORES In the 1970s Tipica
73 boldly proclaimed somos los campeones de la salsa en Nueva York (We are the salsa champions in
New York). And rightfully sonot many could dispute that statement. On Saturday, May 1, 2010 at the
Westgate Lounge in Nyack, New York vocalist, Frankie Vazquez proudly announced this is the best salsa
orchestra in the world. I am here to say this is accurate, precise and true. To whom does this
announcement refer? The MAMBO LEGENDS! This 21 piece orchestra (yes 21) created magic in Nyack,
NY. From the moment they began the song Blen Blen Blen, we collectively knew we were in for a treat.
This band was cooking with nuclear power! They played with dynamics, changing intensity from powerful
to silky and in your face to melodically beautiful. We were in music lovers paradise. It was like traveling
through a time machine. One could imagine the electric atmosphere during the days of the Palladium. It
was mambo at its best. The melodic tones from the five saxophones set up mambos and moas that
transported us to other dimensions. The musicians were in the zone and many of us went along for the
ride. But how could this big band do any less? The orchestra is a collection of masters. Many of them
were part of the Tito Puente Orchestra. They reconfigured after the Kings death and emerged as the Latin
Giants of Jazz. They have re-emerged as the Mambo Legends and seem to be tearing it up everywhere
they go. They are led by timbalero, Jose Madera, bongosero, Johnny Rodriguez and saxophonist/flautist,
Mitch Froman. A partial list of the personnel also includes Sonny Bravo on piano, George Delgado on
congas, Jerry Madera on bass, Pete Miranda on sax and several more. Solos by legendry trombonist,
Sam Burtis were inspired. Trumpeters Pete Nater and Richie Viruet each took solos and then later did
competing solos. It was a tie. Frankie Vazquez with his street smarts puts forth inspired soneos (vocal
improvisations). He employs wit and humor and worked in the names of some in the audience. He
sounds just as good in English as demonstrated on the tune Mambo Land which begins with the storyline
in English. Joining Frankie on vocals is Marcos Bermudez (who does double duty with the Spanish
Harlem Orchestra). His voice transfers perfectly into the two part harmony and is wonderful on lead
vocals. Cita Rodriguez is the bands rising star. She is the daughter of legendary Fania All Star vocalist,
Pete El Conde (The Count) Rodriguez. It is apparent she learned much at his knee. Her voice is strong,
clear and controlled. There is no struggle, no discomfort, no failed attempts. She delivers with ease.
Whether singing chorus or the lead, upbeat or bolero, Citas voice is on pointe. In addition, her vocal
harmony is exact. Celia Cruz will always be the Queen of Salsa, and La India is called the Princess of
Salsa. However, Cita Rodriguez deserves the title of Countess of Salsa. She is salsa royalty. Cita made it
clear she was on stage representing women. She is a single mother, a school teacher by day and a
songstress by night. Her song Ahora Mismo tore the house down. It is marvelous that this woman has
penetrated the male dominated salsa world. She is now situated on top of that world singing for The best
Salsa OrchestraIN THE WORLD.
