Global Arts Project and the Collins Park Neighborhood Association present a free livestream broadcast tribute to Tito Puente (1923-2000) on the 20th anniversary of his passing, this Sunday, September 6, at 6 p.m. The performance, with some of his greatest hits, will be lead by Tito Puente Jr. and his Latin Jazz Ensemble, with special guest vocalist Melina Almodovar.
