Album

Album 1992 16 Songs. Desi Arnaz and Trio. 2: Best of Desi Arnaz: The Mambo King, 1992. Desi Arnaz. Babalu, 03:33. Cuban Pete, 03:11. Now playing . Arnaz burst onto the American music scene when Latin music was enjoying its first taste of success. A record like Babalu was viewed back then as primitive and exciting, and Desi's sex appeal and good looks made him the Ricky Martin of his day. That this music still holds up well today says more for Desi's abilities than the current vogue for Latin music. Verified Purchase. Desi Arnaz did not introduce the conga to America, but he is the one who popularized it and invented the conga line. The mambo king title is because this CD was issued to capitalize on the exposure that Desi received from The Mambo Kings movie in 1992. Ironically, Desi never recorded a mambo tune, as the style did not become popular in this country until the 1950s, by which time he was entirely busy doing I Love Lucy and running Desilu Productions. My review is for the MP3 download version of the album, as the CD is out of print and the download was significantly cheaper than paying shipping for a used one.
