MAMBOOOOOOOOOOO Kalimete, Mala Fe,Tulile? Love it. There is nothing better in this world than some hardcore ripit up ghetto merengue. Not even reggaeton, which I turned to when merengue sort of died down in the US and PR. Havent figured out the whole "monster voice" thing, which is how my kids and I refer to some of the weirder vocals. Mambo afaik doesnt refer to mambo as in Cachao. Im not entirely certain, but I think its the old "jaleo" section that we now refer to as the "mambo" section of a merengue. I take mambo in this context to mean "the good get jiggy with it part". Merengue de calle? MAMBOOOOOOOOOOO
