Billy May's Rico Mambo Orchestra - Arthur Murray Favorites: Mambos
$ 15.00
When the mambo craze swept 1950s America, dance instructor Arthur Murray became a household name, and Capitol Records enlisted the great arranger Billy May to provide the soundtrack. This is big-band brass meeting Afro-Cuban percussion in a spectacular, high-fidelity collision. It’s loud, it’s brassy, and the rhythms are incredibly infectious. The cover art is an iconic piece of 1950s illustration, practically begging you to push the coffee table out of the way and practice your footwork. A genuinely thrilling, swinging dance record.
