Orchestra Mambo International is a UK-based mambo, salsa, and Afro-Cuban jazz orchestra founded in 2022 by DJ Lubi and trombonist, bandleader, and composer Jonny Enright (Grupo X). Since launching, the 13-piece band has performed widely across the UK, including Glastonbury Festival, and built international radio support through five singles released since May 2024. Inspired by Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, and the Fania All-Stars, the orchestra brings a fresh UK energy to classic New York and Cuban traditions. It's cross-generational, international line-up spans musicians from Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, Brazil, Spain, and the UK, with every decade from twenties through seventies represented in the band, from younger players such as trumpeter Olivia Cuttill to veteran Venezuelan vocalist Carlos 'Pachanga' Pena.

¡Apuntalo! Is the debut album from Orchestra Mambo International and features eight original compositions by Jonny Enright, with additional writing from Carlos 'Pachanga' Pena and timbalero Jimmy Le Messurier. A key guest appearance comes from acclaimed flautist and saxophonist Chip Wickham (Gondwana Records) on 'Flauta Pa' Ti', with further guest contributions from Cuban singer Claritzel Miyares and Cuban-born, New York-based violinist Yrving Yeras on 'Rumba, Ron y Rico Son'. Moving through mambo, salsa dura, pachanga, Cuban son montuno, Puerto Rican bomba and Latin jazz, the album combines classic Afro-Caribbean dancefloor spirit with original songwriting, rich arrangements and big-band energy. Positioned for jazz, global, Latin and dance audiences, it is a vibrant, joyous and highly playable debut with clear appeal for specialist record shops, vinyl buyers, DJs and distributors. '100% top-quality Latin recording from Orchestra Mambo International. Love the vocal arrangement on that one.' Gilles Peterson - BBC 6 Music

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
