Born as a mixture of jazz-swing and Cuban music - a fantastic blend for foot moving music, and often featuring wild acrobatics, The Mambo gained big popularity in the USA during the late 1940s through to the mid-50s, when dancers used to hang around legendary places like New York's Park Plaza or The Palladium Ballroom.
Suddenly everything that had a Latin sound was hip and cool - a few Spanish words ("Hey Señorita!"), and the sound of maracas, bongos or castanets were often featured ingredients.
