Music reviews of Little Bit of Mambo
Music Review: Lou sells his songs without even trying--and that's no small feat !!!
Rating: 5 Stars
Lou Bega came out with a great CD here with A Little Bit Of Mambo. The tunes are catchy, solid and well performed by Bega and the musicians. Just one listen proves it!
"Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of...)" starts the CD strong with probably the greatest hit on the album. The catchy melody remains in your memory almost effortlessly--but it's a good catchy, not a "bad" catchy. Lou sings really well about flirting with women and the chorus to this song shines like gold! Love that brass! "Baby Keep Smiling" continues the hits with an excellent tune you're bound to love! Lou Bega's excellent diction bolsters his delivery; and the backup chorus makes "Baby Keep Smiling" even better! I predict that you will enjoy "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of...)" and "Baby Keep Smiling" very much.
"Can I Tico Tico You" obviously has Lou singing passionately of how he wants romantic time alone with his woman; and the mix of a traditional Latin beat with a rap melody works wonders for "Can I Tico Tico You." "Tricky, Tricky" features Lou singing about a woman who wants a lot of material things from her man; and the musical arrangement makes good use of the drums and percussion. Lou turns out "Tricky, Tricky" like the pro that he is! Moreover, "Beauty On The TV-Screen" has a great arrangement for piano and percussion; Lou Bega sings this without a superfluous note. Lou sings of how he wants to know a beautiful woman he sees on TV. Great number!
"Behind Stage" makes it sound as if Lou just finished a concert; and when the theater staff begs him for more Lou eventually gives in as long as he's "The Mambo King." When the salsa music comes in and Lou sings "Mambo Mambo" this number takes off like a rocket! Excellent!
The liner notes give us some great artwork and we get the lyrics to the songs, too.
Lou Bega more than proves his talent with this incredible CD. This is great music for anyone who appreciates Latin music and Lou's fans will never be caught without this one in their collections!
Muchas gracias, Lou Bega!
Description of Little Bit of Mambo
1999 debut album by the samba/ mambo star. Features the smash European hit 'Mambo No. 5'.What sounds like an early-model Casio playing "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" quickly gives way to a classic Perez Prado riff. On top of it all, Lou Bega--born in Germany to a Ugandan father and Italian mother--hoarsely exhorts the floor to "Mambo No. 5." A runaway hit in more than a dozen countries, it's an agreeable trifle, if ultimately not as charming as "Macarena" proved to be a few summers back. Throughout this cash-in album, Bega comes off like a cross between a less clever Tone-Loc and a less inspired Buster Poindexter. If there's a great Europop-Cuban fusion in the making, its standard-bearers will have to come up with more durable trashy fun than this. --Rickey Wright
