Perez Prado and His Orchestra was a Latin jazz ensemble led by Cuban-born musician Perez Prado, known as the "King of Mambo". The band played a pivotal role in popularizing the mambo genre in the 1950s, with Prado's unique style of 'son montuno' becoming a signature sound. Notable for his energetic conducting style, Prado often incorporated unconventional instruments such as the harpsichord into his arrangements. Among the band's most influential works are the chart-topping hits "Mambo No. 5" and "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White".
