    alcohol, probably.

    alcohol, probably.

    with or without the whiskey, I like these records:

    babarabatiri
    puente in percussion
    dance mania
    el rey
    en el puente
    para los rumberos
    ...and his concert orchestra

    just to name a few.

    While those records are great, apart from Dance Mania none of those are mambo. You have to reach farther back to get into Puente's mambo era.



    Dizzy I have no capabilities to upload audio but check out Tito Rodriguez's early recordings on Tico, Mambo's Vol 1-6. I think they are out on cd, good luck finding originals, but real deal mambo.

    Tito is tight and polished as hell, but Prez is just loose and raw and fun. That's what got me interested in mambo in the first place. I just dig his personality as a bandleader more.

    I simply can't weigh in until Madlib drops his mambo project this Spring.

    Tito, because his records don't have that "watered-down-for-the-white-folks" factor like Perez does (although Perez definitely had his killin' moments).
