Tito Puente Latin Music Series: Leo Blanco

Leo Blanco is a Venezuelan pianist, arranger, and composer. Blanco grew up in Mérida, Venezuela, and was surrounded from an early age by Venezuelan folklore – a blend of African and European musical traditions – as well as jazz, classical music and pop.

The Tito Puente Latin Music Series takes place in July and August at outdoor locations across Boston. The six-concert series is an infectious soundscape of salsa, bolero, danzón, Afro-Latin, Caribbean, jazz, funk, R&B, and more. Performers include Berklee faculty, students, alumni, and world-renowned artists from Puerto Rico, Cuba, Ecuador, Brazil, and throughout Latin America.
