Volume 2: Mambo Fever (Capitol 32562)
The hot wind of mambo blows wild over these 18 sizzling Latin dance favorites from our archives. Shake your maracas and beat your bongos to the rhythms of "Taki Rari", "Oye Negra", "Peter Gunn Mambo", and "Chihuahua". Don't forget your Arthur Murray Cha-Cha chart. Ole!
Welcome to Mamboland - c'mon pilgrim, leave that chapeau with Dinah the blonde hatcheck, the cover's lower than the bottom shelf rye. Our color scheme's cherry pink and apple blossom white, and there's a swizzle stick monogrammed YNH (Your Name Here). The swamp cooler's blasting, and yet you feel it - Mambo Fever. Feel free to hunt wild game in the zebra-striped banquettes. When you hear the sound of the maracas, you will forget everything boring that's ever happened in your life...
The mambo was a dance, it was a pulse, oh hell, it was sex to a 50's nation busy hiding its libido between contraband pages of The Tropicof Cancer. And a hot wind loaded with pheromones was what the white mainstream caught from our neighbors to the South. There were artists communing with the Afro-Cuban dieties by playing mambo.
