Fisher and Hughes have since gone on to collaborate with numerous artists in the electronica/experimental/world music genres under the moniker Echo System, including Björk, The Shamen, Salif Keita, Garbage and Pop Will Eat Itself.

Follow-up single and title track "Mambo" was written and produced by Enrique "Kiki" Garcia and Hector Almaguer, both longtime collaborators with Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine and writers of numerous hits for Julio Iglesias, Chayanne and José Luis Rodríguez.

"Mambo" was Azúcar Moreno's first recording made in Miami, the United States and also the first to include Cuban influences, of which there would be plenty on the following albums Ojos Negros and El Amor.

[1] Further singles issued from Mambo include a cover of Nino Segarra's "Tu Quieres Más (Porque Te Amo)" (#12, US Hot Latin Tracks[1]), "Lujuria" and "Ahora O Nunca", the latter composed by the team behind "Bandido".

Just like the Bandido album, Mambo also featured a number of flamenco/dance cover versions of songs from a wide variety of genres; the 60s soul classic "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher", originally recorded by Jackie Wilson, the Mexican standard "Bésame Mucho" from the 1940s, The Rolling Stones' 1966 hit "Paint It, Black" and "El Cóndor Pasa", a Peruvian Andean folk tune covered by Simon & Garfunkel on their final studio album Bridge Over Troubled Water in 1970.
