Pérez Prado's first US LP

"This 1950 US LP compiles 78s that brought Prado fame in Mexico...The discography there says that this is Prado's first US LP, and may be his first LP anywhere."

Battle of the Bands!

Here's a Battle of the Bands for the ages....Spike Jones vs. Perez Prado. With pyrotechnics, flying pigs, and cha-cha-cha. Arrrrrriba!

Rock-ambo!

It's not just rock...it's not just mambo....it's ROCK-ABMO, a man-made hybrid created due to the fact that rock and mambo are unable to successfully breed in captivity without human intervention. Get it here.

Mary Tyler Moore A Go-Go !

A great video of Mary Tyler Moore (as Laura Petrie) dancing. From the "Dick Van Dyke Show" episode "To Tell or Not to Tell." (1961). Music : "Mumbo Jumbo" by Perez Prado. Video uploaded by beachranger9847

Bonus Beat : a mashup i've made using Perez Prado "Mumbo Jumbo" and M.I.A. "Uraqt" acapella.

Perez Prado Pony-a-Go-Go

You'd think they would have gotten worn out performing Mambos Number 1 through 7, but apparently not. Here it is, a half hour's worth of entertainment packed into 1:16, Perez Prado and the Gang performing "Mambo #8".
