Good day, afternoon or evening, Salsa friends. This is Dany Joshua from Scarlet Mambo. A few months back, I wrote an article about Mambo’s popularity in Mexico City in the 1950’s. I promised to write a complete article about the history of Mambo and Salsa. But I never delivered. Sorry. Yeah, I know.
However, I found this NY Times article about the life of Israel Cachao López, the inventor of Mambo. This article should fill many gaps in our understanding of the development of this music genre and dance.
