===Mambo in New York City: 1947-1960=== Mambo arrived in 1947 and mambo music and dance became popular soon after.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.auroraballroomdance.com/styles.html|title=Aurora Ballroom|access-date=2018-07-12|archive-date=2021-05-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210516222308/http://auroraballroomdance.com/styles.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Recording companies began to use ''mambo'' to label their records and advertisements for mambo dance lessons were in local newspapers. New York City had made mambo a transnational popular cultural phenomenon. In New York the mambo was played in a high-strung, sophisticated way that had the [[Palladium Ballroom]], the famous Broadway dance-hall, jumping. The Ballroom soon proclaimed itself the "temple of mambo", for the city's best dancers—the Mambo Aces, Cha Cha Taps, [[Killer Joe Piro|"Killer Joe" Piro]], Augie and Margo Rodriguez. Augie and Margo were still dancing 50 years later (2006) in [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]]. Some of New York's biggest mambo dancers and bands of the 1950s included: Augie & Margo, Michael Terrace & Elita, Carmen Cruz & Gene Ortiz, Larry Selon & Vera Rodríguez, Mambo Aces(Anibal Vasquez and Samson Batalla), Cha Cha Taps (Carlos Arroyo and Mike Ramos), [[Killer Joe Piro]], Paulito and Lilon, Louie Maquina, [[Pedro Aguilar]] ("Cuban Pete"), [[Machito]], [[Tito Rodríguez]], [[Jose Curbelo]], Akohh, and [[Noro Morales]].<ref name="DavidGarcia" />
