"Oye Cómo Va" is a 1962 cha-cha-chá song by Tito Puente, originally released on El Rey Bravo (Tico Records).

Due to its multinational origins–Cuban, Puerto Rican and American–and its many versions by artists from all over the world, "Oye Cómo Va" has come to represent "the interconnectedness, hybridity and transnationality" of Latin music in the United States.

According to Max Salazar, it is likely that Puente was inspired by Cachao's tune when composing "Oye Cómo Va", given the clear similarities.

[4][5] The second section of the song resembles the introduction to "Te Enseñaré", written by Sergio Calzado and recorded by Estrellas Cubanas in 1960.

The electric guitar part takes on Puente's flute melody, and the organ provides accompaniment (with organist Gregg Rolie's discreet use of the Leslie effect).

[9][10] Tito Puente, speaking in the intro to his recording of "Oye Cómo Va" on the album Mambo Birdland, said "Everybody's heard of Santana.

The song has been covered by various Latin music artists, such as Joe Cuba (1963 and 1970, in a medley with "Aprieta el pollo"), Azúcar Moreno (1990), Gerardo Mejía (1991), Julio Iglesias (1994), Banda M-1 (1994), Fruko y sus Tesos (1995), Celia Cruz (2000), The Conga Kings (2001), Kinky (2004).

Jazz versions have been recorded by Bobby Hutcherson (Montara, 1975), Michel Camilo (Thru My Eyes, 1997), New Orleans Nightcrawlers (Live at the Old Point, 2000) and Eliane Elias (Around the City, 2006).
