Born in Munich, David Lubega (aka Lou Bega) (April 13, 1975) this multicultural (his mother is Sicilian, his father from Uganda) Latin pop musician is famous for his song "Mambo No. 5", a remake of the Perez Prado instrumental from 1952 with new lyrics added by Bega, and sampling the original version extensively.

The song became an instant worldwide hit, charting in top 5 across Europe and in the USA, where it became a popular stadium anthem at sports events. It was also used by the British television broadcaster, Channel 4 for their coverage of Test Match cricket between 1999 and 2005.
