It was pure luck and love for Hispanic music that made me look for a second time to the man being interviewed by Channel 7 crew in a wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Daryl Ruales held at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral and reception at a high end restaurant in Cebu City last January 8, 2009.
Further recollection reveals that I saw that particular man in our very own Palompon Parish Church grounds several days ago wearing a plain but luminous light green short, a color so popular with some young people who loves music, whether its R and B, reggae, country or whatever.
I am talking about a man named DAVID LOU BEGA, who made popular (revived) the music titled ANGELINA (My Sweet Senorina), MAMBO No. 5, among others. Here's some facts about him and his records............
"Mambo No. 5" is a mambo and jive dance song originally recorded and composed by Pérez Prado in 1949.
The song's popularity was renewed by Lou Bega's and more recently Alesha Dixon's sampling of the original, released under the same name on Bega's debut album A Little Bit of Mambo.

"Mambo No. 5"
(1999) "I Got a Girl"
Bega's cover was a hit in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia, where it reached #1 in 1999. It stayed at #1 in Australia for eight weeks, ultimately becoming the best-selling single of the year. It also topped almost every chart in continental Europe, including Bega's home country, Germany, and set a record by staying at number one in France for 20 weeks (longer than any stay at the top spot ever on the US or UK charts), and the song reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US on November 2, 1999 (after reaching the Top 40 on August 24).
In turn, many artists covered variations of Lou Bega's version including Radio Disney and Bob the Builder. It was also used as the theme for Channel 4's cricket coverage.
The following is a list of names mentioned in Lou Bega's song: Angela, Pamela, Sandra, Rita, Monica, Erica, Rita (again), Tina, Sandra (again), Mary, Jessica.
The music video, directed by Jorn Heitmann, features Lou Bega singing and dancing with flappers, possibly a homage to the music of the 1920s and 1930s. Clips of old-style movies and newsreels showing things such as trumpets and big bands can be seen.
