Eventually they do--performing with Arnaz on "I Love Lucy" in 1955 and recording 78s with their own band， the Mambo Kings. In his second novel， Hijuelos traces the lives of the flashy， guitar-strumming Cesar and the timid， lovelorn Nestor as they cruise the East Coast club circuit in a flamingo-pink bus. Enriching the story are the brothers friends and family members--all driven by their own private dreams.
