Music Room - Mambo Diablo


A cheeky song with with highs and lows for dancers to play with. Listen to one of Tito Puente's most well-known hits: Mambo Diablo









by Eddie


This month, I would like to recommend a really nice song. It's called Mambo Diablo by Tito Puente.

If you like Jazz, you'll like this as well as it's a very groovy song. Personally I liked this artiste since I first started salsa. In fact this was one of the first few titles that I heard when I first started out dancing so naturally it left a deep impression on me.

Why this song? For one, if you are the playful/cheeky kind, this song will definitely gel with you as it has a cheeky flavor to it in terms of melody and beats. On top of that, this song has a lot of accents of highs and lows which allows you to hit the music when you are dancing.

Note that it's not always about turn patterns/variations in a song but dancing to the music.If you are just starting out, you might not be as adept in hitting the music as dancers who have been dancing for while but it comes along with practice. That is why I recommend this song so that you guys out there can learn to appreciate this song and artiste.

This song also allows a lot of room for playing with the music with your partner and ultimately, I'm sure your partner would enjoy dancing with you and remember you as someone who dances to the music if you learn to play with the music more.


Hope you guys like my recommendation for this month and see you guys on the dance floor.

Listen to and get Mambo Diablo here!
