Since the appearance of mambo in the 30s, as an evolution of Cuban 'danzón' and 'son montuno', reached its greatest popularity during the 50s. Musicians like Pérez Prado, Cachao, Tito Puente and Machito were some of the greatest creators and performers of this Cuban rhythm. This double CD album offers a collection of 36 original songs performed by some of the most famous groups and singers of those golden years, as Tito Puente (El Rey del Timbal), Tito Rodriguez, Machito & his Afro-Cuban or Sonora Matancera with Celia Cruz among others.
