Incomplete discussion of the origins of mambo music

The section on the origin of the mambo is incomplete in several ways and needs to engage more with some of the scholarship. For example, it mentions Arcano and the Lopez brothers but fails to mention Arsenio Rodriguez who claimed that the mambo came from the diablo section he innovated into the son montuno in the late 30's and early 40's (many scholars think that both his innovations and those of Arcano's group were important influences on the development of the mambo). It also mentions the role of Perez Prado in the mid-40's but fails to mention Rene Hernandez and Bebo Valdes who were making similar innovations to Prado at this time and are also given credit by scholars. A good source on this is chapter 33 of Ned Sublette's Cuba and it Music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.25.181.193 (talk) 08:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Needs to explain the Mambo section pertinent to a Salsa song

It would be nice if someone has the knowledge to add the definition of Mambo as it would be used to describe the instrumental part of a salsa song. Denis17.ranque (talk) 00:09, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
