| | Best Of The Mambo Vol. 1 CD
It's a tough task to live up to the title, but this RCA collection spans the handful of artists who meant most to the mambo during the '50s: Pérez Prado, Beny Moré, Tito Puente, Machito, Tito Rodriguez, and Noro Morales. The track listing is stellar as well, gathering Prado's "Mambo No. 5" and "The Peanut Vendor," Moré's "Babarabatiri" and "Que Bueno Baila Usted," Morales' "Maracaibo," Machito's "Zambia," and Puente's "Hong Kong Mambo." Collecting 14 tracks is a greater accomplishment than most other Latin compilations, and The Best of the Mambo, Vol. 1 is quite a cheap purchase as well. If you're looking for a short, sharp collection of high-energy mambo, this is it, bar none. ~ John Bush

A young man in modern-day long dreadlocks, sometimes tied back in a bandana, frame his head; he likes to wear earrings, a necklace and bracelets, and his western-style clothes. His appereance is markedly different from that of the old generation of Cuban musicians; his exterior has nothing in common with the soneros of the golden age. But this does not mean that this member of the younger generation has no respect for the traditions of his home country, quite the reverse, in fact, in musical terms Mayito continues the series of his ancestors with a great sense of ...
