Joe Conzo was a very close friend of el maestro, Tito Puente, for almost 40 years. He was his publicist and personal historian of "El Rey" who rose to international fame which began in the streets of East Harlem.
Conzo was aquainted with "the very private" Tito Puente. He did drugs, liked the ladies a little too much, and was a loyal follower of the Santeria religion.
He shares in a new tell-all book on the life and legacy of the six time Grammy award winner. The recently released book, "Mambo Diablo: My Journey with Tito Puente," was written in collaboration with journalist David A. Perez.
He will be signing copies of his book February 14th at 7pm at the musical event being held at the Harbor Conservatory, 1 E. 104th St. at Fifth Avenue. Bandleaders Louis Bauzó and José Madera Jr. will perform.
