Havana Mambo were formed in Havana in 1994 by seven members of the New Perez Prado Orchestra. This was part of a variety show which in 1993 took by storm the famous Tropicana night club in Havana, and then moved across the Atlantic to pay tribute to the King of Mambo across Europe. Here the Orchestra performed to ecstatic audiences at places such as the Sporting Club in Monte Carlo, and got a particularly warm reception in Italy, where they played in some of the best venues of the country and were televised by RAI (the Italian national broadcasting corporation).
With their new line-up and a new home in Turin, Italy, during the last decade Havana Mambo have been acclaimed by the fast-growing and demanding Euro-Latin scene, playing in clubs and festivals across Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland and Austria, and taking their music to countries such as Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, Turkey and Tunisia.
