The Bongos - Mambo Sun
Review by Erik Haahr
Mambo Sun, the latest album by Bongos, is an upbeat and eclectic mix of Afro-Cuban rhythms and rock influences. The band's signature percussive sound is front and center on tracks like "Rumba in the Jungle" and "Mambo Jambo," while the guitar work on "Jungle Fever" and "Cuban Moon" adds a touch of classic rock to the mix.
The album's standout track is the title track "Mambo Sun," which features a catchy horn section and infectious beat that will have listeners dancing in their seats. The lyrics, sung in both English and Spanish, celebrate the joy and energy of the sun and the power of music to bring people together.

I want to croon for you
Beneath the Mambo Sun
I got to be the one for you
For you, for you
My life's a shadowless horse
If I can't get across to you
In the alligator rain
My heart's all pain for you
For you, for you
Girl you're good
And I've got wild knees for you
On a mountain range
I'm Dr. Strange for you
For you, for you
Upon a savage lake
Make no mistake I love you
I got a powder-keg leg
And my wig's all pooped for you
For you, for you
Beneath the bebop moon
I want to croon for you
Under the Mambo Sun
I got to be the one for you
For you, for you
