Published by Anderson M. Matos (A0.493119). The musical and choreographic style known as mambo was born in Cuba, the result of a fusion of various musical sounds. It was strongly influenced by Afro-Cuban cadences from the typical religious ceremonies of Congo. The term with which he was baptized comes from a common slang among black musicians – “are you mambo?â€, in other words, “are you all right?â€. These artists performed a rhythm known as El Son in Cuban musical groups. The modern mambo, on the other hand, was created in 1939, with Orestes López and Cachao López, who produced a danzón - a genre derived from the Creole dance, whose source is the Spanish contradanza and the French contredanse, from which various Latin American ballroom dances originate – which they named Mambo, using sounds from African culture.
