Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|Latin dance of Cuba))
((More citations needed|date=September 2009))

[[File:CCMDonation28.JPG|thumb|Mambo dancers at the [[Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, Mexico City|ITESM Campus Ciudad de Mexico]]]]

'''Mambo''' is a [[Latin dance]] of [[Cuba]] which was developed in the 1940s when the [[Mambo (music)|music genre of the same name]] became popular throughout Latin America. The original ballroom dance which emerged in Cuba and Mexico was related to the [[danzón]], albeit faster and less rigid. In the United States, it replaced [[rhumba]] as the most fashionable Latin dance. Later on, with the advent of [[salsa music|salsa]] and its more [[salsa dance|sophisticated dance]], a new type of mambo dance including breaking steps was popularized in New York. This form received the name of "salsa on 2", "mambo on 2" or "modern mambo".

==History==
===Origins===
In the mid-1940s, bandleaders devised a dance for a new form of music known as [[mambo (music)|mambo]], taking its name from the 1938 song ''Mambo'', a [[charanga (Cuba)|charanga]] composed by [[Orestes Lopez]] which had popularized a new form of danzon which later was known as danzon mambo. This style was a syncopated, less rigid form of the danzón which allowed the dancers to more freely express themselves during the last section, known as the [[mambo section]].((cn|date=September 2023))

From Havana [[Pérez Prado]] moved his music to Mexico, where his music and the dance were adopted. The original mambo dance was characterized by freedom and complicated foot-steps. This style was prominent in the [[Rumberas film]]s. Popular dancers of the era include [[Ninon Sevilla]], [[Maria Antonieta Pons]], [[Tongolele]], [[Meche Barba]], and [[Resortes]].

===Americanisation===
The mambo dance that was spearheaded by Pérez Prado and was popular in the 1940s and 1950s in Cuba, Mexico, and New York is completely different from the modern dance that New Yorkers now call "mambo" and which is also known as [[Salsa (dance)|salsa]] "on 2". The original mambo dance contains no breaking steps or basic steps at all. The Cuban dance was not accepted by many professional dance teachers. Cuban dancers would describe mambo as "feeling the music", in which sound and movement were merged through the body.<ref name="DGarcia">((cite journal|last=Garcia|first=D. F.|title=Going Primitive to the Movements and Sounds of Mambo|journal=The Musical Quarterly|date=1 December 2006 |volume=89|issue=4|pages=505–523|doi=10.1093/musqtl/gdm006))</ref> Professional dance teachers in the US saw this approach to dancing as "extreme", "undisciplined", and thus deemed it necessary to standardize the dance to present it as a salable commodity for the social and ballroom market.<ref name="DGarcia"/>

In the 1940s, Puerto Rican dancer [[Pedro Aguilar]], known as "Cuban Pete", and his wife became popular as the top mambo dancers of the time, dancing regularly at [[Palladium (New York City)|The Palladium]] in NY. "Cuban Pete" was named "the greatest Mambo dancer ever" by ''[[Life (magazine)|Life]]'' magazine and the legendary [[Tito Puente]]. Pedro Aguilar was also nicknamed ((lang|es|el cuchillo)) ("The knife") for his mambo dance style.<ref name="Guardian">((cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2009/may/24/pedro-cuban-pete-aguilar-obituary|title=Pedro 'Cuban Pete' Aguilar|date=25 May 2009|website=The Guardian|author=Terry Monaghan|access-date=13 February 2019))</ref>

The modern mambo dance from New York was popularized in the late 1960s into the 1970s by George Vascones, president of a dance group known as the Latin Symbolics, from [[the Bronx]], New York. George Vascones continued the mambo dance tradition which started two decades earlier during the "Palladium era". It was followed in the 1980s by [[Eddie Torres]], Angel Rodriguez of RazzM'Tazz Mambo Dance Company, and others, many of whom were 2nd generation New York Puerto Ricans. This style is sometimes danced to mambo music, but more often to salsa dura (old-school salsa). It is termed "mambo on 2" because the break, or direction change, in the basic step occurs on count 2. The Eddie Torres and Razz M'Tazz schools each have different basic steps, even though they share this same basic feature. Eddie Torres describes his version as a "street" style he developed out of what he saw on the Bronx streets. The RazzM'Tazz version is closer to the Palladium Mambo (from the Palladium ballroom in the 1950s), whose basic step was in turn derived from Cuban son, with which it shares its timing (234 - 678, with pauses on 1 and 5) both styles derived from the American Mambo with the freestyle steps based on jazz and tap steps.<ref>((Cite journal |first=Sydney |last=Hutchinson |date=Fall 2004 |title=Mambo on 2: The birth of a new form of dance in New York City |url=http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37716209 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120911224717/http://redalyc.uaemex.mx/redalyc/pdf/377/37716209.pdf |archive-date=September 11, 2012 |url-status=live |journal=Centro Journal |volume=XVI |issue=2 |pages=108–137 |issn=1538-6279))</ref>
