Description

Mambo is an energetic Cuban dance music genre that emerged in the 1940s, blending Afro-Cuban rhythms with big band jazz influences. Characterized by syncopated brass sections, layered percussion, and a distinctive forward-driving beat, it became a ballroom sensation across Latin America and the United States. The genre's infectious, improvisational style established it as a foundation for modern salsa and Latin jazz.
