The mambo is a Cuban invention that got a huge boost in Mexico in the 1950s.
Here’s a contemporary Mexican artist, master vibraphonist Victor Mendoza doing a tribute to the Mambo Kings.
He has performed and taught around the world and earned recognitions and awards from multiple organizations, including Latin Beat, Modern Drummer, Jazziz, and the Smithsonian.
Jazziz magazine described Mendoza as “the genre’s leading vibraphone practitioner” and “one of today’s most resourceful composers.”

There is a simple solution to all life’s problems: More rumba
Roman Diaz, Pedrito Martinez, Mauricio Herrera, Clemente, and Sebastian Nickoll en la casa de
Román.
Was this filmed in Havana Norte (New York City) or Havana proper?
It turns out not to matter!
But if you’re looking for clues, that nifty basketball hoop for kids is unlikely to be in Cuba. If only we could read the labels on those beer bottles, we’d know for sure.

The world can go to hell in a hand basket, but as long as this continues, all will be right with the world.
God bless the musicians and musical families who fill the world with light.
