Flavien Demarigny, aka Mambo (born 1969) is a Franco-Hungarian artist, born in Santiago, Chile.
Mambo is the alias of Franco-Hungarian artist Flavien Demarigny. Mambo describes his work as an illustrated brain, full of visions and emotions. He draws or paints as if he is writing, creating art that you can read. Everyone can build their own story simply by watching it.
Flavien Demarigny, a.k.a. Mambo, lives in Los Angeles This self-taught artist worked with La Force Alphabétique, a collective of mural painters, from 1986 to 1997, and joined 9ème Concept in 1998.
He has simultaneously worked on his own pieces and on a number of other projects - he created the logo and décor, and wrote the graphic guidelines, for Groland, an acerbic weekly newsreel on French TV, akin to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Mambo is a travelling painter, designer and graphic artist. His work is figurative and currently reflects modern society's icons, well-known visual codes and pictograms. He uses popular media and consumer society imagery, honed into his own style - then added his own codes. The clues he peppers around his work tie in with our culture's memory. Mambo sees his creations as reflections of the world: they are overwhelmed by an overdose of information and they raise questions.
"Mambo" is a 1938 danzón nuevo ritmo by Antonio Arcaño y sus Maravillas. It was composed by the band's cellist/multi-instrumentalist Orestes López. The piece includes a final section with syncopated montunos which would give rise to the mambo music genre popularized by Dámaso Pérez Prado and others.

Anything you need from me, Ma, you know that it's yours
You're the only woman in my life that I adore
I remember back in the days when we couldn't get much
TV's wasn't covered and the floor was tore up
How you juggle three jobs just to take care of me
Yo baby boy, Bow Weezy
Late night shifts, daytime to the AM
Comin' home late, there was my best friend
My soulmate, yes, my big brother
The one who tucked me in, put me under the covers
When I had nightmares, you came right away
Read me bedtime stories and chased them away
My beautiful black queen, my everything
The one that keeps this heart pumpin' everyday
I'm a young man now
But my plan is to show you that I really understand
Mom, I love you
All of the things you do
I can never repay you
I can't imagine life without you
My mama, my road dog
Look at you now
You sittin' up on top of the world
Got a X5 and a Benz just to swerve
Gotcha dream house now
Sittin' on big land, big money, big jewels, big game plan
You told me one day I'ma make it this far
Have God in my life and I'm gon' be the star
I did it, well, look where we at
Don't have to worry 'bout past due bills and all that
Don't have to worry 'bout them bill collectors all on yo back
Don't worry
If you ain't got it, I gotcho back
Don't even worry 'bout you workin 3 jobs real late
Don't even have to worry when you have no food to put on the plate
Back then, I didn't understand but I do now
I look back and I reminisce on how it all went down
Went from bad to good, from frowns to smiles
Mom, I really love you, understand now
I love you
Thank you for loving me
Say what now
Thank you for holding me down
Say what now
I know that you care for me
Sing that
Cuz you've always been around
Kick it back and

Say what now
Thank you for holding me down
Say what now
I know that you care for me
Say what
