Geri Galian made a Soundie* in 1945. It was titled Tumbando Cana and featured a hot little Latina spitfire called Isabelita. I’ve never seen it – just read about it. I really like your Danse Macabre musical clip above. That’s the kind of Latin American dance music from the 1940s that makes you want to put all kinds of fruit on your head and run around the room screaming “chica chica boom boom!” *Short musical film (like a music video) which was played for a dime on the Mills Panoram located in bars, restaurants, clubs, etc.

Both as an Artist and a drummer, I greatly admire his
playing sensibility. This is one person I truly wished
I could have met. (Entre Nous)

Hello Maria,

I think we’re related. Your father’s mother was my father’s
sister. Your father was quite a bit older than me, so I
never got to know him well. I do remember he had a little
girl who was about three or four when I as about eight or
nine.

Regards,
Gloria

Maria:

Did your father dance with a person whose last name was Searle? If so what was her first name?

Gregorio

How’s it going?,
I’ve been trying to find another Discos Corona LP(better yet a CD)of Alicia Rivera. Actually there’s two I’m trying to find, Debil Mariposa & Mis Canciones De Amor. The no.’s on the LP are DCL 1028-2 & DCL 1029-2 respectively.
If you have any info on where to get these, or any kind of info actually, I would really appreciate it. THANX~
