The album title Tito Tito Tito is probably not official, but it is how it's known by many. Here Tito Rodriguez plays typical Palladium dance music mostly. This album includes the classic Descarga Cachao. Other highlights include Donde Estabas Tu, Sun Sun Babae and La Toalla.

The band is as usual anonymous. In the 50s and 60s, most Latin bandleaders did not give any billing for the musicians - Cal Tjader being a notable exception. In any case, most if not all of themembers from 1960 "Live At The Palladium" had departed for other projects. It is well-known that Israel "Cachao" Lopez was in this recording, however.

Musicians include:

Israel "Cachao" Lopez / Bass
Tito Rodriguez / Lead Vocals

and possibly…
Rene Hernandez / Piano
Jesus Caunedo / Saxophone
Emilio Reales / Trumpet
Rafael "Tata" Palau / Alto Saxophone
