Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestseller: A "lush, tipsy, all-night mambo of a novel about Cuban musicians in strange places like New York City" (People).

Brothers Nestor and Cesar Camillo arrive from Cuba in 1949 with dreams of becoming famous mambo musicians. This memorable novel traces the arc of the two brothers' lives—one charismatic and macho, the other soulful and sensitive—from Havana to New York, from East Coast clubs and dance halls to the heights of musical fame.

The basis for a popular film, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love "tells of the triumphs and tragedies that befall two men blessed with gigantic appetites and profoundly melancholic hearts. . . . Hijuelos has depicted a world as enchanting as that in Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera" (Publishers Weekly).

"Rich and provocative . . . a moving portrait of a man, his family, a community and a time." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
