Is there a name for the progression ♭VI–♭VII–I?

Question

The so-called Andalusian cadence occurs when one harmonizes the descending tetrachord from tonic down to dominant with I–♭VII–♭VI–V. Yet the progression ♭VI–♭VII–I seems just as common. It's especially common right after a V chord, because V moves to ♭VI deceptively and then moves by step up to tonic. This ends up creating the exact retrograde of the Andalusian cadence: V–♭VI–♭VII–I. Is there a name for this latter progression?

Answer 1

This specific cadence has taken on the name the "Mario cadence" in some spheres, a reference to the game Super Mario Bros. (which uses the progression in some of its most iconic jingles). Search for the "Mario cadence" and you'll find quite a bit of discussion on it.

Answer 2

in jazz this is called a "Backdoor cadence". IV-7 is a substitute for bVI hence "IV-7-bVII7- I"...... a traditional cadence "II-7-V7-I" uses the leading tone in the V7 chord to get to the tonic. the backdoor cadence uses the subdominant to get to the third of the key. 'lady bird' by tadd dameron uses this progression. Sade uses this progression in 'smooth operator'. several classic Rock and roll bands have used this cadence in their songs. The names of the songs escape me at the moment. https://www.wyzant.com/Tutors/Willmusic369

It's a typical chord progression in aeolian mode, used often in modal interchange.
