editMambo No 5 (Perez Prado)
editOur Wikipedia entry for Mambo No. 5 indicates that: "The song's popularity was renewed by German artist Lou Bega's sampling of the last 30 seconds of the original". I thought that this was accurate since I had always listened to the original Perez Prado record (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJlAb4VLs4k). However, I recently heard the following version of Mambo No. 5 by Perez Prado (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ6jtT_mSGQ), which I found odd as it reminded me of the Lou Bega recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK_LN3XEcnw). Some of the former video's comments indicate that this Perez Prado recording dates to 1954 (or maybe earlier). I've been searching around for information on the matter to little avail. Basically, the question boils down to:
- Is the "alternative" Mambo No. 5 (the alleged 1954 recording) a Perez Prado original, or is it a "modern" version created after the success of Lou Bega's version?
- If the "alternative" Mambo No. 5 is truly a Perez Prado original, does that mean that Lou Bega did in fact not simply "sample the last 30 seconds of the original"?
Cheers to anyone who can figure this one out! Please "ping" me if you have an idea or find the answer.--MarshalN20 ✉🕊 00:35, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
