"Mambo de la Luna" is a song by British singer and songwriter Kirsty MacColl, which was released in 1999 as the lead single from her fifth studio album Tropical Brainstorm.
[3] Upon its release, Neil Spencer of The Observer commented in a review of Tropical Brainstorm: "Tracks like "Mambo de la Luna" follow the same upbeat curve [as "In These Shoes?"]
"[4] Billboard commented: "Tropical Brainstorm contains some of the artist's most vibrant work in years, including the electro-leaning textures of "Mambo de la Luna".
[2] Larry Printz of The Morning Call considered the song "Latin-flavored" and an example of MacColl's ability to write "sunny tunes".
[7] Tom Moon of The Philadelphia Inquirer commented: "MacColl's uptight phrasing (coupled with attempts at singing in Spanish) mars the otherwise buoyant "Mambo de la Luna".
