The depressing reports from the Middle East and the inadequacy of America’s leadership require a temporary return to better times. I recommend a track from the CD “The Mambo Kings” which was released in 1992. Sonora Matancera’s version of “Oye Este Mambo” is tuneful and graceful and is music that really belongs to the 1950’s when popular music was played for adults and brutality seemed to have been defeated.
