“Every person that has heard his music has been touched by it,” Olmos, best known for his remarkable trajectory as an actor, director, and producer, says. “It’s time we solidify it with an understanding of his life so that in turn, 100 years from now, people will know of him.”, Olmos and Puente talked more in-depth about the upcoming projects honoring the artist's 20th-year anniversary since his passing and who Tito Puente was as a father, a friend and an artist.

Tell us a bit more about the various tribute projects that are in the works in celebration of Tito Puente’s legacy. We know that fans can expect a docuseries and an album.Of course, the most important aspect is going to be the documentary, even though there’s going to be a mini-series because his life was very flamboyant. He was a very extroverted, wonderful human being. His life is going to be longer than what you can share in a documentary.

I’m so excited that we’re teaming up with Mr. Olmos and that he’s a fan of my late father, practically his whole life and he loves mambo music. I’m glad that we got someone on board that knows my father’s music, he was a very good friend of my father too, and we’re celebrating his life and his legacy on the 20th-year anniversary of his passing. Everything that we’re going to put together is going to be something to be seen.
