In the 1950s, America fell in love with mambo, and "The Home of Mambo" was the Palladium Ballroom at 53rd Street & Broadway. The Palladium Ballroom was the heart of mambo and Latin music until it closed in 1966. With 20 members and a repertoire of more than 2,000 tunes, the Big 3 Palladium Orchestra recreates all the glory of the Latin big band and the mambo craze of the 1950s with its tropical-flavored trumpets, be-bop piano and drumbeats.
