Oye Como Va — Tito Puente (1963)

"Lost Original" — "Oye Como Va" was written and originally recorded by Tito Puente in 1963. It was inspired by Israel "Cachao" Lopez's song, "Chanchullo." The title can be interpreted literally as, “Listen to how it goes” – or, colloquially as, "Hey, what's up?". Santana's 1970 version, found on the "Abraxas" album, would reach #13 on the Billboard Top 100 and become a classic rock staple.
