Music reviews of Mambo
Music Review: An Alternate Universe Is In Every Song
Rating: 5 Stars
My grandfather, "Grandpa Joe" (1906-1981) was a classical music fan, and I remember many times being at his house as a child and sitting through entire symphonies, string quartets, violin sonatas, etc. I didn't really have the attention span for long classical pieces, but I idolized Grandpa Joe and didn't want to displease him. I was a record collector even then, and the first thing I ever did when my parents took me anywhere was to rifle through the record collection of whoever's house I was in. Grandpa Joe had a Capitol "Full Dimensional Sound" demonstration record (monaural, of course). One entire side was classical (and I can only assume that he got it for free and only played the classical side). The other side had selections from Capitol's "popular" albums of the day. The first track on the "popular" side was Yma Sumac's "Bo Mambo". I was ten years old when I first set the Pickering stylus of Grandpa Joe's Rek-O-Kut "Rondine" down on "Bo Mambo". Holy CRAP, what was THIS???... I played it again and again. This was phenomenal music...I had never heard anything like it in my entire decade on earth. A few days later, I hopped on my Schwinn Speedster and raced over to my local record store and special-ordered "Mambo!" by Yma Sumac. It took about three weeks to get it...an endless wait. Every track on that album was a fabulous adventure. This was "world fusion" music decades before it was fashionable. Her singing is unique and incredible; Billy May's arrangements are out-of-this-world; the musicianship is virtuosic and flawless. It has now been over 40 years since I first heard "Mambo!" and I have played it for countless friends and acquaintances over the years; most of them loved it enough to buy their own copy. "Mambo!" is one of the very few albums that has been in print for over 50 years, and there is a good reason. No one has ever made a record like "Mambo!" before or since.
