Biography

"Mambo No. 5" is an instrumental mambo and jazz dance song originally composed and recorded by Cuban musician Dámaso Pérez Prado in 1949 and released the next year.[1] The song was used in German artist Lou Bega's sampling of the last 30 seconds of the original, released under the same name on Bega's 1999 debut album A Little Bit of Mambo.[2] Lou Bega's cover was a summer hit during 1999 in most of Europe,[5] including Great Britain, as well as in North America and Oceania. In France, it set a record by staying at number one for 20 weeks.[6] The song reached number 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on 2 November 1999, giving Bega his only top-40 hit in the United States.[7] Links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu7h_md33So
