Casa Amadeo is a piece of Latino music history as the oldest Latino music store in New York City. Actually, it’s listed in the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n
The owner is Puerto Rican Mike Amadeo. You might have heard his name in El Gran Combo’s<\/a> song “Que Me Lo Den en Vida”. That’s because that song is one of over 200 songs Mike Amadeo has written. That’s about the same amount as Ruben Blades<\/a>.<\/p>\n I read about Casa Amadeo in an article on the “Welcome 2 The Bronx”<\/a> website. Mike’s father, Titi Amadeo, was an accomplished musician and songwriter. He moved his family from Bayamon, Puerto Rico to the Bronx in the late 1940’s.<\/p>\nBrief History of Casa Amadeo<\/h3>\n
