AMERICAN ROUTES ON INSTAGRAM
TITO PUENTE / MARC & ANN SAVOY
On this American Routes, music, songs, and artists that transcend their own cultural boundaries. Marc and Ann Savoy, a husband and wife team from Eunice, Louisiana, started playing together over 30 years ago and have helped Cajun music spread around the world. Plus legendary timbale player and bandleader Tito Puente, who brought even more of a Latin tinge to the American scene – our interview with him before he passed away in 2000. With music from Nina Simone, Wilco, Super Chikan and more.
