Biography

Mambo, a Puerto Rican merengue group founded in 1998 by producer Hiram Villanueva, quickly gained prominence with their unique sound and innovative approach to tropical music. Their debut album, released under Tropix Music, featured the hit single “Corazón Partío,” a merengue rendition of Alejandro Sanz’s classic. However, it was the Elvis Crespo-composed “Ella tiene el sabor” that catapulted them to international fame, selling over 50,000 units and earning a deal with Sony Discos. In 2000, their second album Evolución, released under Pina Music, delivered chart-toppers like “Como ladrón,” “Me la llevo yo,” and “Qué quieres de mí,” solidifying their reputation as one of Puerto Rico’s beloved merengue groups. Their 2002 album Diferente showcased their vocal harmonies and sophisticated arrangements, with standout tracks like “Usted se me llevó la vida” and “Te recuerdo.” By 2004, Mambo embraced modern influences with Todo o nada, introducing merengue urbano, a fusion of merengue and reggaetón. Their 2008 album Historias included the fan-favorite “Cuéntale” and explored bachata influences. After a compilation release in 2019, Mambo returned in 2022 with the single “Atrévete,” proving their enduring appeal and continued evolution in the Latin music scene.
