Israel "Cachao" López's block-chord descarga vamp — first cut in 1949 as "Mambolandia" (Julio Gutiérrez, RCA), then under its own name by Arcaño y sus Maravillas in 1957. Tito Puente recorded it in 1959 and, in the early 1960s, reworked its introduction into "Oye Cómo Va" — the portable identity that changed everything.
