	Mambo Dance History
		A modified version of the "Mambo" (the original dance had to be toned down due to the violent acrobatics) was presented to the public at dance studios, resort hotels, and at night-clubs in New York and Miami.
		One of the greatest contributions of the Mambo is that it led to the development of the Cha-Cha.
		He agreed that Pérez Prado should have the title of "King of the Mambo." Israel brought up the analogy of Paul Whiteman being called "The King of Jazz" while he was not the "creator" of jazz.

	Rolling Stone : The Mambo Kings : Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The extravagantly sexy and witty Mambo Kings is a stunner; suffused with romantic longing, the film goes beyond spectacle to honor the achievements and dammed-up dreams of a culture long misunderstood by Hollywood.
		To the percussive mambo beat, the camera follows the dapper brothers across the crowded floor, stopping to notice the glimmer of a diamond bracelet on a velvet glove, the slash of red on a man's silk tie and the slit dress on a beauty who's taken the same care in choosing what to wear underneath.
		The irony of the validation the Mambo Kings receive by appearing on national TV is underscored by the tragedy that occurs soon after.

	‘The Mambo Kings’ (R)
		"The Mambo Kings" is so pumped up with life it threatens to burst.
		It isn't long before the Mambo Kings band is hitting the local clubs.
		Now everything is an overextended mambo video, full of writhing, stylized beings with superficially drawn personal lives.

		"The Mambo Kings" tells the story of two brothers who flee from Havana in the early 1950s, arrive in New York, and dream of making themselves famous musicians.
		In some ways this story is as old as the movies, but "The Mambo Kings" is so filled with energy, passion and heedless vitality that it seems new, anyway.
		One sequence that could easily have gone wrong, but doesn't, involves the Mambo Kings being discovered by Desi Arnaz, the Cuban bandleader whose TV stardom made him the hero of musicians like the Castillo brothers.

		No matter what you think about The Mambo Kings (1992) as a whole, if your toes aren't tapping by the time the final credits roll, you might very well be dead.
		Ultimately, between the acting and the soundtrack, The Mambo Kings is engaging enough, but it never quite lives up to the passionate promise of the music that gives it its name.
		Warner's DVD release was likely timed to coincide with the August 2005 debut of The Mambo Kings musical on Broadway… a debut that never happened, since the show was scrapped after a critically panned preview run in San Francisco.

	The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love: A Novel by Oscar Hijuelos from HarperCollins Publishers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		"The Mambo Kings" are two brothers, Cesar and Nestor Castillo, who flee from Cuba in 1949 to reinvent themselves in the burgeoning Cuban music scene in New York City.
		The story of their lives is told in flashback from the perspective of the aging Cesar, quietly drinking himself to death in the Hotel Splendour as he listens to an old Mambo Kings record and remembers the songs he's sung and the women he's loved.
		As the seminal moment in the Mambo Kings' lives, their performance on the I Love Lucy show, reappears on rerun after rerun throughout the novel, their televised appearance subtly transforms into an evocative and haunting image of a past world that is long gone.

	The Mambo Kings Calls Off Summer Broadway Opening (BroadwayWorld.com)
		When the musical adaptation of Oscar Hijuelo's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love opened at the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco on May 31st, critics were not kind.
		Before the summer opening of the show was called off, reports were flying of a creative overhaul for the show, with such names as Tommy Tune, Maury Yeston, and most recently the team of Jerry Mitchell, Jason Robert Brown and David Ives mentioned as possibilities for replacement (although none was ever confirmed).
		The Mambo Kings, which recounts how two Cuban jazz musicians travel to New York in search of success and romance, starred Esai Morales, Jaime Camil (as the brothers), David Alan Grier, Albita, Justina Machado, Cote de Pablo, Christiane Noll and Dennis Staroselsk in its out of town tryout.
