For those that are interested in focussing your event as a Mambo-style Latin Themed party, there is plenty of history, music and images that can give you great ideas for creating a fantastic Mambo Themed party.

For starters, see some images that reflect the Mambo era as part of our RITMO!® video presentation. Notice the colorful rumba ruffled-sleeve shirts and dance attire, as well as our RITMO!® Conga Showgirls. Listen to the Latin sound.

As we talk about the rich history of Latin music, the Mambo era was a very important time. Mambo is essentially a progressive Cuban dance music that is intrinsically associated with the New York big band Latin sound.

 

The original and foremost Mambo King that was responsible for creating and popularizing the Mambo-style sound was Cuban bandleader and composer Perez Prado.

 

Prado's hot big band Mambo sound was extremely energetic. It is interesting to note that Prado performed in New York City very few times in the early 1950s to mixed reviews. Audiences were for the most part, stunned and shocked by this new impetuous sound especially coming from his orchestra's heavy brass trumpet section.

Nonetheless, Prado's new innovative Cuban-style sound became very influential to other local orchestras of the time; thus, becoming the catalyst of a new Latin musical movement called "Mambo."

The Mambo came alive in the famous Palladium Dancehall in New York City. The first place for latin music to be situated in midtown Manhattan, the Palladium was filled with electrifying Latin rhythm and featured the world's best Mambo dancers competing with each other as well as the band--which created great synergy.

It was a very unique place in that its audience was extremely diversed. You not only had Hispanics, but also all kinds of people from different ethnic backgrounds dancing and enjoying the Latin sounds; making it the most unique place for a Latin dance experience.

Some of the more famous bands that played at the Palladium where the Tito Puente Orchestra, Machito and his Afro-Cubans, Tito Rodriguez Orchestra, Eddie Palmieri Orchestra, amoung others.

So, to sum up this section on a Mambo-style Latin Themed party, for those that are interested in creating this kind of event, it is essential to visualize this concept as having a big band orchestra that can perform the music of Perez Prado, Tito Puente and other similar Latin big band sounds.

A Cuban style wedding will energize your party with an authentic Cuban comparsa featuring salsa dancers, conga drummers and decorations. Your wedding will become a tropical Miami Cuban entertainment carnival where everyine is dancing and having a great time.

Here in Miami there are many great Cuban party entertainment that can accommodate a Mambo big band orchestra with a chorus line of Tropicana style Las Vegas revue that will entice your audience t the sounds of salsa, merengue, cumbia, cha cha and other familiar sounds from the 1950s Mambo era, including some Miami sounds made famous by the Queen of Pop Latin music Gloria Estefan.
