Biography

Catalino "Tite" Curet Alonso, born on February 12, 1926, in Guayama, Puerto Rico, was a prolific composer known for his contributions to salsa music. Raised by his grandmother in Barrio Obrero, San Juan, he wrote his first song at 15. After studying journalism and sociology at the University of Puerto Rico, Curet Alonso began composing songs while working for the United States Postal Service. His breakthrough came in 1965 when Joe Quijano recorded his hit "Efectivamente." Curet Alonso composed over two thousand songs, many becoming major hits. Notable interpreters include Celia Cruz and RubÃ©n Blades. He faced legal battles over royalties with ACEMLA. Tite Curet Alonso died on August 5, 2003, from a heart attack in Baltimore, Maryland.
