About The Mambo Kings
The Mambo Kings is the soundtrack to the 1992 film of the same name, based on Oscar Hijuelos's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love. Artists featured on the album include Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Benny Moré, Arturo Sandoval, Linda Ronstadt and Los Lobos. It also features the Mambo All-Stars, a band composed of studio sidemen from New York City and Los Angeles. With only a couple of exceptions, the tracks were made specifically for the film. The 2000 Elektra updated edition adds a remix of Tito Puente's "Ran Kan Kan" by Olga Tañón and a rendition of "Beautiful Maria of My Soul" featuring Antonio Banderas and Compay Segundo of Buena Vista Social Club fame.
