Cuban bandleader, singer, organist, pianist and composer (born December 11, 1916 in Matanzas, Cuba - died September 14, 1989 in Mexico City, Mexico). He is often referred to as the 'King of the Mambo'.

He was born in Matanzas, Cuba, where he studied classical piano in his early childhood, and later played organ and piano in local clubs. For a time, he was pianist and arranger for La Sonora Matancera, Cuba's best-known musical group. He also worked with casino orchestras in Havana for most of the 1940s, gaining the nick-name "El Cara de Foca" ("Seal Face"). In 1948 he moved to Mexico to form his own band and record for RCA Victor. He quickly specialized in mambos, an upbeat adaptation of the Cuban danzón.

In 1950 arranger Sonny Burke heard "Que rico el mambo" while on vacation in Mexico and recorded it back in the United States as "Mambo Jambo". The single was a hit, which caused Prado to launch a US tour. His appearances in 1951 were sell-outs and he began recording US releases for RCA Victor.

Prado is the composer of such famous pieces as "Mambo No. 5" and "Mambo No. 8." At the height of the mambo movement, in 1955, Prado hit the American charts at number one with a cha-cha version of "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White". ---discogs.com

The best mambo songs draw on the unique rhythms that give this Latin-based music genre a flavor all its own. The mambo sound was born in Cuba in the 1930s, but began taking off in earnest in the 1950s, thanks in large part to Cuban band leader and composer Dámaso Pérez Prado. Known as the “King of the Mambo,” Prado began performing mambos regularly after moving to Mexico in the late 1940s. Many of the most famous mambo songs are by Prado, including “Cerezo Rosa,” “Mambo No. 5,” and “Babarabatiri."

During the 1950s, mambo music went mainstream, with numerous well-known artists covering mambo songs. You’ll find a few of these hits on this top mambo songs list as well, including Dean Martin’s famous version of “Mambo Italiano” and “Papa Loves Mambo” by Perry Como. Other popular artists with good mambo songs include Celia Cruz (“La Madre Rumba”), Tito Puente (“Hong Kong Mambo”), and Tito Rodriguez (“Take the ‘A’ Train”).
