Wonder if the name is inspired by my favorite snack, bamba. The best are the hazelnut bamba.

Btw bamba if given to kids at a young age can drastically reduce the chance of peanut allergies

Bamba means cocaine in Italian. Better not to give it to kids

Well, have you ever heard of the Mitsubishi Pajero? [1]

Let me show you the etymology of Bamba:

SSM (state space model) -> SSSM (structured state space model) -> (it's like a snake ssss...) Mamba -> Bamba

Where does the B come from?

Bamba is a traditional Mexican dance. An earlier MAMBA based SSM was called "SAMBA", a Brazilian dance I believe.
