The mambo originated in the 1930s in Cuba, evolving from earlier Afro-Cuban rhythms and dances. It gained popularity in the United States during the 1940s, particularly in New York City, thanks to musicians like Pérez Prado, who helped popularize the genre. The mambo's energetic style and syncopated rhythms made it a significant influence on Latin music and dance trends in the mid-20th century.
