The Story of Rey Mambo from Carl Hersh on Vimeo.
We launched our latest video — part of the Miami Beach Visual Memoirs project — last night at the Deco Welcome Center. Aimed at middle schoolers, the video is about how 13-year-old Marvin moved from Brooklyn to Miami in 1938 and fell in love with all things Latin.

Marvin spent his WWII military career playing bongos with a Puerto Rican band entertaining troops across the country. His return to Miami marked his transformation into Rey Mambo.
The video, along with a teacher’s curriculum guide, will be available for download — for free — from the MDPL website.
