About
David Lubega Balemezi (born 13 April 1975), known professionally as Lou Bega, is a German singer. He is best known for his 1999 single "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit Of...)", a remake of Pérez Prado's 1949 instrumental piece, which reached No. 1 in many European countries and was nominated for a Grammy Award. Bega added words to the song and sampled the original version extensively. Bega's signature musical sounds consist of combining musical elements of the 1940s and 1950s with modern beats and grooves.

David Lubega, plus connu sous le nom de Lou Bega est un chanteur allemand né le 13 avril 1975 à Munich, d'une mère sicilienne et d'un père ougandais.
Il doit son succès au morceau Mambo No. 5, instrumental composé par Pérez Prado en 1949, qu'il a échantillonné, arrangé à la sauce « dance », et auquel il a ajouté des paroles (chanson de l'année 2000 aux NRJ Music Awards). Cette chanson lui a valu une nomination aux Grammy Awards.
