| About the Song: | This song is full of sophistication, has lightness of sound and portrays the romanticism of the rustic Filipino lover. This conventional music of the Big City in the 1930s was popular among the Filipino movie crowd. It enjoyed a revival in the 1960s. It has also been translated into English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and the local dialects. (From the CCP Encyclopedia of Philippine Art., vol. 6, p. 233) |

It is election season once again. Campaign jingles are often heard over the radio, television, and especially in the streets... Back in the 1950s, perhaps no campaign jingle was as memorable and popular as “Mambo, Magsaysay.” MORE
