Mambo Sinuendo

Mambo Sinuendo (2003) more music like this

by Ry Cooder & Manuel Galbán

Mambo Sinuendo is a collaboration between Ry Cooder and Buena Vista alum (and formerly of many other groups as well) Manuel Galbán. The album attempts to catch an old style popularized in Cuba by Galbán, and was, surprisingly, never followed up on by anybody after Galbán. It's a guitar-based romp closely based in the pop/jazz crossovers of the ...

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 11: Organs in Orbit

Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 11: Organs in Orbit (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

The organ has a respected slot in the space age pop/lounge lineup, and Organs in Orbit gives the Hammond its due by featuring 18 cuts in the style, originally recorded for Capitol in the 1950s and 1960s. It's a long way from here to Jimmy Smith, and you should check any hopes for funkiness at the door. If you've got a yen for the inimitable ...

Moments to Remember: The Golden Hits of the 50's and 60's

Moments to Remember: The Golden Hits of the 50's and 60's (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Shout Factory's three-disc set of vocal pop hits from the '50s (and early '60s) is a valuable collection, both because it includes a wealth of chart-toppers and because it unearths quite a few of the nuggets that rarely make it to anthologies of this sort. As a summation of '50s pop, it's an excellent overview, providing an extended look at the ...

Bandland/Revolution in Sound (2001) more music like this

by Les Brown

10 Grandes Exitos

10 Grandes Exitos (1989) more music like this

by Perez Prado

As a budget-line CD, Perez Prado's 10 Grandes Exitos makes for an affordable and fine introduction to the mambo king's career-defining hits of the '50s. Many of the bandleader's signature cuts are here, including the mambo swingers "Que Rico el Mambo" and "Mambo No. 5," in addition to the well-traveled Latin lounge number "Patricia" (used to nice ...

Mondo Mambo: The Best of Perez Prado (1995) more music like this

by Perez Prado

A nice compilation from Rhino of greatest hits by the master (and, more than likely, the founder) of the mambo. Perez Prado was the original Mambo King, and this album attempts to explain that title in full detail. Many of the softer works are here, as any good fan would expect -- "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White," "Patricia," etc. Also, the ...

Early Rhythms (2000) more music like this

by Johnny Pacheco

Pacheco has never run a mambo-type big band. Yet here he is, fluting away like Johnny-Begone in front of full brass and sax sections. This is Pacheco freelancing, in about 1962, with what was essentially Machito's band. It's an unusual disc, with fine flute, and great Rene Hernandez arrangements. John Storm Roberts, Original Music, All Music ...

Teen Beat, Vol. 2 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

This digs way deeper into the cobwebs of history than the first volume of the series. Although a few of these were big hits, over half of the 30 tracks didn't even make it into the Top 100. That doesn't mean they should be dismissed. But in the case of these selections at least, they're simply not nearly as memorable as the best early rock & roll ...

Instrumental Stereo Oldies is a diverse, often obscure collection of instrumental oldies recorded in true stereo. This compilation was overseen by Discoveries magazine, one of the leading record collector's guides, and the track selection reflects this expert touch.

Big Hits by Prado (1960) more music like this

by Perez Prado Orchestra

Big Hits actually is a powerhouse anthology: the first definitive, stereo collection of mambo hits. All were re-recorded for stereo in "new arrangements" as the jacket advertises. A couple originally were recorded in stereo, e.g., "Patricia" and "Why Wait," but were not available in stereo, even as late as 1960. The most desirable selections are ...

This is Perez Prado (1972) more music like this

by Perez Prado

It is hard to imagine a better anthology of Prado's U.S. Victor career. In addition to the predictable choices, "Caravan" and "Three Little Words" are great inclusions. Rockambo and Our Man in Latin America are represented by their top tracks. Noticeably missing are only "Paris" and something from Twist Goes Latin. And at just five tracks per side ...
