Lounge Special-Tito Puente Apr 11, 2026

Show notes

A different show this week in that all the songs we're playing tonight are old songs. We're not playing any neo-lounge at all this week, just thought we'd shake it up a little bit. But I've got a very special thing for you in that a lounge special with Tito Puente is coming your way. And an interesting inspiration as to how I decided to come about this lounge special this week. We'll also take a look at the World of Swing gig guide and our lounge life magazine, a deep thought coming your way, and of course, our world-famous stuff segment here on the Cocktail Nation.

From the land of shaken martinis, atomic dreams, and the coolest sounds ever pressed to vinyl… this is Cocktail Nation.

This week we’re diving into a world where the spies are smooth as Jason Whiton stops by with Spyvibe, the exotica is swirling, and somewhere out there… there may still be a missing nuclear bomb or two.

We’ve got lounge, spy themes, a little intrigue, and of course—your passport to a better kind of living.
