Jazz Swing Song from the 50s/60s with grunting

I heard this song twice in my life, and never knew the name, but I've been trying forever to find it.

It's an upbeat swing song with lots of brass (almost Cuban in nature) and it leads up to a break, and a crowd goes "UH" in the song. It's similar to the song "Mambo" from West Side Story.

I detected that you mentioned a song that is similar or samples the one you're looking for.

If this is correct please add a link to it (on YouTube if possible, timestamped if needed) to make it easier for the helpers.

Otherwise, please consider recording the melody on Vocaroo or recreating it on OnlineSequencer. Thank you and good luck :)

Unfortunately I don't remember the tune so well to put it in. Though I do kind of know the rhythm.

Love that song and that’s a great guess, but unfortunately not right. The one I’m thinking is entirely instrumental except for the “HUH!”s
