Der in Kuba geborene Bandleader Perez Prado wurde der 'Mambo King' der Fünfziger, am bekanntesten für sein Markenzeichen 'Unh!'. Aber Prado hatte mehr zu bieten als grunzenden Gesang. Als charismatischer Bandleader war er ein Pionier des Latin Jazz ('Mambo A La Kenton' ist ein gutes Beispiel), dem es gelang, 'heisse' Musik zu machen, die unterhaltsam und beliebt war (siehe die Hit-Version von 'Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White'). Diese RCA-Aufnahmen von 1953-56, in Mexico City, Hollywood und New York City aufgenommen, fassen zwei erfolgreiche Prado-Alben der Fünfziger zusammen: 'Mambo Mania' und 'Havana 3 a. m.' mit solchen Prado-Klassikern wie 'Ballin' The Jack', 'Tomcat Mambo', 'Marilyn Monroe Mambo', 'Mambo A La Billy May', 'Besame Mucho', 'Freeway Mambo', 'The Peanut Vendor' und 'Baia'.
Cuban-born bandleader Perez Prado became the 'Mambo King' of the 1950s, best remembered for his trademark 'Unh!' But there was more to Prado than vocal grunts. A charismatic bandleader, he was among the pioneers of Latin jazz ('Mambo A La Kenton' is a prime example) who managed to make 'hot' music that was both adventuresome and popular (hence his hit version of 'Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White'). These 1953-56 RCA recordings, made in Mexico City, Hollywood and New York City, combine two popular Prado albums of the Fifties, 'Mambo Mania' and 'Havana 3 a. m.', and include such Prado classics as 'Ballin' The Jack', 'Tomcat Mambo', 'Marilyn Monroe Mambo', 'Mambo A La Billy May', 'Besame Mucho', 'Freeway Mambo', 'The Peanut Vendor', and 'Baia'.
