Salú Cugat! A 31 años de tu desaparición física! Tan vibrante y vigente como siempre.

Simply irrestible rhythm! And you know you've heard this countless times but you don't remember from where.

Artist is Better and bigger than powerline

This is the song I remember from my childhood.  Loved it then - love it now. How much I appreciated my parents giving us access to world music and not just some narrow Americanized version of music.  I would play his record over and over if they'd let me!  Thanks so much for uploading this one!

Lighter, airier and less angular than Perez Prado's more well-known version. Notice the little tribute to Perez near the end! Everything Cugie did turned to gold. An incomparable maestro.

This is one of the recordings that was played in Scotland between the double features when they brought the ice cream and chocolates and sleeves of Wild Woodbine  in 5's. I went to the cinema in Glasgow once and they played the Perez Prado.

No es MAMBO JAMBO. Es QUE RICO EL MAMBO, de Perez Prado.Lo cual no obsta que sea una excelente version.
