Tito Puente's Original Studio Master of "Oye Cómo Va", also known as Tito Puente - Oye Como Va - Master,[1] is an artifact featured in "Around The Bend".

Effects[]

When played, the artifact resets the neurorhythms of those who listen to it.

This has the ability to cancel out hallucinations and mental delusions, though whether this is a guaranteed effect, or if it was merely the result of negating the subconscious rhythm tapped out on the Oman Island Telegraph is unknown.[2]

History[]

This artifact was collected from Azzelian Studio in January in the 1970s[3] by Warehouse 13 agent M. Whistler.[1]

This artifact was used by Artie to try and cancel out the effects of the Telegraph Island Telegraph on a delusional Pete. But the constant audio output wasn't enough to overload the Telegraph, so combined with the tape and the visual overload from Artie's Tesla through a windshield, it finally broke free and saved Pete.[2]

Real World Connection[]

"Oye Cómo Va" (Spanish for "Listen how it goes") is a 1962 cha-cha-chá song by Tito Puente. The name of the song is taken from its refrain: "Oye cómo va, mi ritmo..." ("Listen how it goes, my rhythm"). The song was arranged as a cha-cha-chá with a repeated piano tumbao, and features a block chord ostinato pattern that repeats throughout. It achieved worldwide popularity when it was covered by American rock group Santana for their album Abraxas, which was released as a single in 1971.
