Answer: Ernesto Antonio "Tito" Puente
Explanation: Ernesto Antonio "Tito" Puente was, (he died in 2000) an American musician, songwriter and record producer. He was the son of Ernest and Felicia Puente, who were natives Puerto Ricans living in New York City's Spanish Harlem, Puente is often credited as "El Rey de los Timbales" ( in English The King of the Timbales) and "The King of Latin Music". He is best known for dance-oriented mambo and Latin jazz compositions that endured over a <u>50-year career</u>. He and his music appears in the film The Mambo Kings based on a book of the same name. He guest-starred on several television shows, including Sesame Street and The Simpsons, One of my favorite songs of his is “Oye Como Va”.
In the old days, when musicians got together to play, they used whatever instruments were around. If there were three lute players, a harp, and two flutes, then that's what they used. By the 1500s, the time known as the Renaissance, the word "consort" was used to mean a group of instrumentalists, and sometimes singers too, making music together or "in concert".
