Mambo Sauce - Do you believe in Miracles?

September 15th, 2007 by PG Chic

No, I’m not talking about the DC area mystery condiment included with your order of wings at the local Chinese carryout. I’m talking about the “new sound of DC” -a new gogo band called Mambo Sauce (Red C Records) that seems to be taking the Washington DC Metropolitan area by storm. Their ulimate goal is to really put DC gogo on the map nationally.

Last weekend, my younger sister asked me if I had ever heard of a music group called Mambo Sauce. Since I guess I’m officially old, the answer was obviously no, then I proceeded to ask her if it was a gogo band. Did I really have to ask? lol Anyway, I saw Mambo Sauce perform “Miracles” at the Black Family Reunion last weekend (and later En Vouge minus Dawn…”Hold On!”). You should have seen the teenagers running down the National Mall…just imagine a New Edition concert. Once the “Miracles” song started, I realized that I heard part of it on the radio earlier that week. I always take more notice when I hear an original gogo song, as opposed to a cover of a song. You obviously won’t find me at the gogo (not trying to be the old head at the club…lol), but I am a music lover and support the art and creativity of local talent. A plus is that the single “Miracles” is positive and has a good message. From what I have heard so far, Mambo Sauce is a breath of fresh air.
