Initially, Fania Records hired Tite Curet as a promoter, but they quickly realized he was a gifted composer. His first worldwide hit was “La Gran Tirana”, interpreted by La Lupe.

Throughout his career, he composed roughly 2000 songs. Of those, about 200 were hits, and 50 are widely considered salsa classics. A short list of the artists who interpreted Tite Curet’s compositions include Joe Quijano, Airto Moreira, Iris Chacón, Willie Colón, Cheo Feliciano, Celia Cruz, La Lupe, Tito Rodríguez, Olga Guillot, Mon Rivera, Héctor Lavoe, Ray Barretto, Rubén Blades, Tito Puente, Ismael Miranda, Roberto Roena, Bobby Valentín, Marvin Santiago, Willie Rosario, Andy Montañez, Ismael Rivera, Rafael Cortijo, Tommy Olivencia, and Frankie Ruiz.

His most famous compositions include “La Gran Tirana”, “Periodico de Ayer”, “Las Caras Lindas”, “Anacaona”, “Isadora Duncan”, “El Hijo de Obatalá”, “La Esencia del Guagancó”, “La Abolición”, “Puro Teatro”, “Piraña”, “Brujería”, “Carcajada Final”, “Los Entierros Pobres”, “Mi Triste Problema”, “Pena de Amor”, “Papel de Payaso”, “Pueblo Latino”, “Tu Loco y Yo Tranquilo” and “Franqueza Cruel” among others.

Shockingly, despite his prowess as a songwriter, from 1949 to 1985, Tite Curet supported his family as a postal worker and writer for the magazine VEA. The reason? Tite Curet’s music was banned from Puerto Rico’s airwaves by the publishing company ACEMALA (Asociacion de Compositores y Editores de Musica Latinoamericana) for fourteen years.
