    "Mambo nº5" was a song composed and recorded by Cuban musician Perez Prado in 1950. Lou Bega sampled the last 30 seconds of the original, and that was enough to skyrocket him to international stardom in 1999.

    This song was a part of all my childhood parties. I can never understand how people have never heard of this song because of how frequently I heard it growing up. ❤️

    You make me so happy. I had to put my cat to sleep last night, and I've been so sad since then, but watching you tonight made me smile. You are a wonderful person. I am such a big fan. You have been my favorite reactor for a while.

    I remember the first time I heard this. I was driving around. It was 1999. The DJ came on & prepared us for the song. He said he has a real treat for us. It was a new song that just came out, and you're not gonna wanna miss it. About 5 minutes later, I was jammin' to it. I still am! :)

    The original Mambo number 5 was composed by cuban artist Damaso Perez Prado (a.k.a. The King of Mambo), back in the 40s. In fact the Lou Bega version has some samplings, including the characteristic yelling of Damaso. Maybe, you´d like to listen to some of his mambos, they´re amazing.

    So around 1999, for some reason, 1930's-1940's swing music briefly came back! This was a product of that era. Brian Setzer Orchestra was probably the cause of the comeback, with "Jump, Jive and Wail." (I would recommend reacting to that video) Most of this song (Mambo No. 5) was sampled from an original recording many years ago.

    Lou Bega...okay 👌
    Check out Kid Creole and the Coconuts... I'd suggest to start with Endicott... then fall down that hole even more and get into Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band... start with Sunshowers or Cherchez la Femme...You will not regret it 🙂
