Tito Gómez y La Orquesta Riverside

 En 1938 José Antonio Tenreiro Gómez, un joven de dieciocho años debuta como cantante de la Orquesta de Osvaldo Estivill, con la cual entra por primera vez en un estudio para grabar un disco en que aparecerá identificado ya con el nombre artístico de Tito Gómez.

Luego en 1949 pasa a formar parte de una de las jazz band más célebres de la época, la Orquesta Riverside, pegando de inmediato el tema Mambo en España, luego de lo cual le convencen de incluir en uno de sus discos, casi a manera de relleno y sin muchas pretensiones, una versión en chachachá de Vereda tropical, obra del compositor mexicano Gonzalo Curiel, con la que obtendría un Disco de Oro por el millón de placas vendidas.

El presente álbum es precisamente una selección de los principales éxitos que protagonizó Tito Gómez junto a la Riverside durante más de un cuarto de siglo de carrera compartida.


In 1938 when José Antonio Tenreiro Gómez was a young man of eighteen years old debuted as a singer with Osvaldo Estivil’s orchestra with which he came in for the first time inside a studio for recording a music in which he was to appear already identified with his artistic name of Tito Gómez.

Afterward, in 1949, he goes on to integrate one of the most renowned jazz bands of the time, Riverside Orchestra, making famous almost immediately the theme Mambo en España (Mambo in Spain), and after that they convince him of including in one of his recordings, almost as a filler with little pretensions, a version of Vereda tropical (Tropical trail) in chachachá rhythm, work by the Mexican composer Gonzalo Curiel, with which Tito would obtain a Golden Record for a million plates sold.

The present album is precisely a selection of the main successes Tito Gómez was protagonist with Riverside orchestra for more than a quarter of a century of a shared career.
