Program Notes
In 1950 arranger Sonny Burke heard Qué rico el mambo while on vacation in Mexico and recorded it back in the United States as Mambo Jambo. The single was a hit, which caused the composer Pérez Prado to launch a U.S. tour. His appearances in 1951 were sell-outs and he began recording US releases for RCA Victor.
