Mambochella

Mambochella takes viewers on a rhythmic journey, following a never-before-seen gathering of award winning artists from every corner of the world, combining their talents to produce an album that pays tribute to Mambo’s golden era while reinventing its eclectic elements, inviting all generations cross-culturally to move to the same vibrational tune.

Mambochella gives a behind the scenes of the 2018 recording of Mambo Babalu’s debut album, I Love Mambo, at Miami’s Peer Music Studios. I Love Mambo features 12 tracks that pay homage to the original Mambo Kings; Perez Prado, Beny More, Tito Puente, Machito, Tito Rodriguez and Cachao Lopez. This once-in-a-lifetime reunion was thoroughly crafted to bring together, under one roof, legendary musicians, lead vocalists, and sons of Cuban music royalty – some of which haven’t performed together in over 30 years due to political tensions in Cuba.
