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
(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

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Big Hits by Prado

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 ...

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 ...
