No word on where this particular clip comes from. This tune, and two others by Dámaso Pérez Prado, will be familiar to those who’ve seen The Motorcycle Diaries. It appears in a scene at a Peruvian leprosarium where it turns out that young, pre-revolutionary Che Guevara doesn’t know how to dance. His left-footed efforts, aided and abetted by his wily travelmate Alberto Granado, result in the christening of a raft with the unlikely name of “Mambo-Tango”, with which the two intrepid Argentines end up sailing along the Amazon’s tributaries into Colombia.
