1949. Dos jóvenes cubanos músicos salen de la Habana y llegan al gran teatro de Nueva York. Es la temporada del mambo, y los hermanos Castillo, quienes trabajan duro durante el día, pronto se convierten en las estrellas de la noche en las salas de baile donde que su orquesta toca la música sensual y vibrante que les gana el título de Los Reyes del Mambo. Esta es su juventud -- una época que treinta años después, recordarán con nostalgia y afecto. En Los Reyes del Mambo Tocan Canciones de Amor, Oscar Hijuelos crea una obra rica y fascinante sobre la pasión y la muerte, la memoria y el deseo.
