Lyrics by Angel Ferreira : MAMBOKAT
                                                         
all right!  ..the time has come                  ……you see her across the room
you go over and you ask her to dance     …..all right babe you wanna dance?
as she takes your hand                             …you spin her
then you dip her                                        …..you bring her back up
and then you move away                         …..and you show her your best move
she looks at you                                      ….."I want you now" she say's
and then you say to her                            ….Let's Dance!

              Mambokat!   …. Hmm           Mambokat     ...hmm

RAP -
I like the way you walk and I like the way you talk
what you whisper in my ear leaves me in a state of shock    … yeah
at the end of the day  …I like to see you sway
     I arrive at your door   ….cause you made my day     …well ..oh baby!
something as simple - as a sexy little dimple
and a kiss on your navel - will leave you with a tickle  …Ahh yeah  …thats right!
Be a slave to my rhythmn    ….to prevent a little schism
come one baby!   …right over here.
again the next day - I get see you sway
I hear your little shoes and your walking my way       …Hmmm…all right!
I like the way you walk - and I like the way you talk
what you whisper in my ear - leaves me in a state of shock
thats intoxicating!

Mambokat!   …. Uh I wanna be          …..Mambokat     ... Yes I wanna be

BLACK MAMBO (Mambero Mix)

A blazing Mambokat rendition of 80's New Wave band "Haircut One Hundred's" song Boy Meets Girl aka "Favourite Shirts".  Full Mambokat horn section with Angel's brand of Mambokat Soul!  ... Let's go back in time and discover Angel's recounting the root and reason of redoing this 80's dance floor classic!
Odyssey Niteclub on Beverly Blvd. West Hollywood.
It's 1981 and I just had dropped a couple-o-hits of “Black Beauties” as I was entering the Odyssey Club. As I walked towards the dance floor, DJ Chuckie Starr was spinning “The Suburban Lawns” song (Gidget Goes to Hell)The place was on fire and it was madness as I attacked the dance floor! I commandeered a space close to one of the light poles that dropped down from the ceiling, one of many that formed columns along the outer perimeter and middle of the dance floor like The Parthenon temple of Greece. Accept this temple was a place to pay tribute to the fading sound of Disco and the emerging sound of “New Wave”. I moved over towards the mirrors so I could watch my moves while I danced. Then out of nowhere Bam! .. The guitar riff of Favourite Shirts by Haircut 100 begins to creep in the mix and just like that I explode into a frenzy of spins. While channeling the Tazmanian Devil from the Bugs Bunny cartoons I watched as a kid, I danced and spun and spun .. and spun. As I froze coming out of one of my spins right there in front of me watching my every move I made was Prince and his Guitarist Dez Dickerson. Both wearing trench coats and peeping my every move. I kept dancing and spun around towards the mirror again turning my back to them as I danced to my reflection in the mirror all while still watching them watch me dance. The DJ mixes another badass dance cut by Billy Idol called “Dancing With Myself” and now I shift into warp speed! I look across the floor and see some of my friends along with the whole crowd dancing in concert. Thierry, Sophie, Russell Clark with his black motorcycle jacket and bleached hair. I then spun around and still watching is Prince and Dez Dickerson! Why were they staring so hard I wondered? As the song was coming to an end, I was choosing that moment to walk over and introduce myself but as I aimed my spin to stop in the direction that they had been watching me in … they were gone!

This sexy freakin vocal performance by the leader of The Mambokats It was composed back when the band first formed.  You can hear the love he has as tries to convince the girl what she feels is real and tangible love. Awesome! 

Diamonds In The Skies

This afro-Cuban-soul band is Hot and ready for attention! The leader of the band, L.A. native, Angel Ferreira was a dancer who toured with Madonna on her WHO'S THAT GIRL tour and had a deal with Virgin Records before the EMI buyout. As time changed, so did his sound into something that became a musical culmination of his personal life experiences. The pedigree is long but no need to tell you about it!  You can view Angel's webumentery on youtube at youtube.com/user/mambokats.
Angel's songs which appear on his self-produced CD, HORIZONTAL MAMBO, are nourishing songs of lost and found love in L.A.'s well healed districts. This Afro-Cuban Soul formula has taken years to brew! It all starts with his Momma buying him his first Michael Jackson LP record and learning how to sing the title song "BEN", watching his parents dance mambo and cha cha cha to Tito Puente and Celia Cruz's music, his father teaching him to play the conga drum, choreographing sk8r tricks to Aerosmith and Ted Nugent!, discovering dance as a runaway teen on a rooftop while listening to a transistor radio playing Michael Jackson's "You Got Me Workin Day and Night", witnessing the new sound of Hip Hop on the movie set of Beat Street, dancing and staging caberet show's in New york City, touring on a private jet around the world with Madonna as one of her dancers, getting signed to Virgin Records, To finally taking out of the oven The Mambokats afro cuban soul formula.
The sizzling afro cuban soul sound of Angel & The Mambokats song called "BLACK MAMBO" has been heard by millions on the hottest TV shows worldwide. BLACK MAMBO is a fast mambo that describes his quest for infinite love and was first captured in the essence of dance by Americas favorite male and female dance contestants, Benji and Heidi from Fox Television's smash hit show, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.
