For Joe Conzo Sr
I am an old late 50’s early 60′ Palladium dancer and was there till the very end.
Saw a long 50 year Puente Music Retro concert video at Hostos . I believe recorded in 2023 – It had Ron Puente on Vibes and Timbales. I Want to watch it again and share it with musician friends but can’t find it anywhere. Can you let me know where I can watch it again. The version I want is not on youtube. ??
Thank You
