Dissertation
Why does papa love mambo? An alternative perspective of America, 1947–1955
2002
Overview
Mambo provides an alternative perspective into an ethnically diverse America before rock and roll. Fusions between multiple American cultures and an urban immigrant Latin culture produced mambo. Beginning with the mambo's Latin percussive roots m the slave cultures of Cuba, this thesis explores the raucous, fun-loving, suburban mambo culture of Perry Como's 1954 hit “Papa Loves Mambo” in order to access the process of the conditional acceptance of Latin culture by a non-Latino audience. The partnership of jazzman Dizzy Gillespie and percussionist Chano Pozo elucidates the artistic depths of the mambo, which shaped Black Nationalism, the beat generation, and the modern art movement.
