Free Download: 'Mambo' from Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story

The dance 'Mambo' appears in the neighborhood dance scene in Act I of Bernstein's West Side Story. Preceding the famous song 'Maria', members of the rival gangs perform this 'challenge dance' during which Tony and Maria meet and fall in love.

Bernstein composed a symphonic suite of orchestral music from the show in 1957; 'Mambo (Meno Presto)' is the 4th movement in the suite.

This recording is performed by the Carlos Chavez Symphony Orchestra; Fernando Lozano, conductor.
