[Famous Songs of the World] A curated introduction to soul-stirring popular Latin mambo tracks
Born in Cuba in the 1940s, mambo has captivated the world with its passionate rhythms and dazzling sound.
Songs like “Bésame Mucho” by Mexico’s Consuelo Velázquez and “Mambo Italiano” by America’s Rosemary Clooney have continued to be loved by artists across borders.
With its powerful brass sections and lively percussion, and the innovative performance style of Tito Puente—known as the “King of the Timbales”—mambo remains as vibrant as ever, setting hearts dancing around the world.
