Xavier was a class act and an absolutely terrific orchestra leader. The "Bombshell from Brooklyn" is the epitome of style and grace. And what can one say about Lina Romay, except that she brought her beauty and talent to the music. They don't come any better.
She's a Bombshell From Brooklyn.. Wow, what a video! This was put together perfectly. Lina Romay is amazing. And the song has an uplifting melody to it. I already lost count of how many times I've watched this. Thanks!
Superbe vidéo avec la mise en scène de ce spectacle de l'un de ces orchestres mythiques tropicaux latino-américains des années 50 aux côtés d'Eddie Warner, Henri Leca, Henry Rossotti, Lucuana Cumbamboys, Edmundo Ros, voire Los Machucambos.
This music will come back in style for those who miss it and for those who will discover it for the first time, mostly the youth. Classy times then but now people wear jeans to a wedding.
The Bongo King, Rogelio Darias, has passed at the age of 93 His passing is a great loss not only to the Cuban community, but to the entertainment family as a whole. A native of Santa Clara, Cuba and classified by Leonardo Acosta as "one of the first to play tumbadoras on a stand, with illuminated engineering," was destined to spread the bongó gospel to Las Vegas in the 1960s.
La pelicula en español se titula "Tres dias de amor y fe" en un cuartel militar, los soldados pasan 3 dias con sus novias y viendo buenas actuaciones de orquestas antes de ir a la guerra
La bella cantante y actriz se llama *Lina 👩Romay* , muy buena y dotada de cierto encanto, sobre todo para esa época en la que estaba un poco castigada. ruclips.net/video/fHf_V0JNW0A/видео.html *BLUE SPANISH EYES* canción de guitarra al estilo de *Santo 🎸Johnny*
Lina Romay was super-talented. Great singer, tremendous sense of presence, a natural before the camera (as we can see here) and wore clothes gorgeously. Also a very good dancer. Known as a complete professional. Chaos ensued in later years when a personality of questionable repute adopted the name Lina Romay,
Para ser un vídeo de *1 9 4 3* también diría que tiene buena pinta con el gran maestro *Xavier 🎵Cugat* en plena forma. ruclips.net/video/JGrtzi2EQM4/видео.html *P E R F I D I A* Canción de *Alberto Domínguez* interpretada al estilo de *The 🎸Shadows*
The lyrics are referring to a woman imitating Carmen Miranda, who was billed as the "Bombshell from Brazil" when she first became popular in the USA several years before this performance was filmed. The "Bombshell from Brooklyn" obviously was NOT from Brazil but was trying to fool people into thinking she was.
@waynebrasler lina was the girl singer on the bing crosby philco radio show, around '46 & '47. btw, i looked at the next table one night at the chateu madrid in new york in '64 and whaddya know, i gasped to my date "that's xavier cugat! wish i had his autograph, but he deserved to be with his friends away from autograph seekers. lina could really sing; i recall " loveon a greyhound bus"
Xavier Cugat was a very talented man. Although born in Spain, he lived in Cuba for many years and brought the Cuban sound to the U.S.
I really like watching this clip becouse I see my grandfather playing the trumpet.
His name is George Lopez. RIP.
WOW!!!!! Tell me more!!!!!

Mi bomba de Brooklyn me pega, todo las dias...
Linda cancion y gringas cantando una guaracha...
Impressive,,,,
Sorry to claim it but Cugat was spanish,hope i could see video with his chihuahuas!!!
At first I took this to be in ref. to Abbe Lane, Xavier's furure wife, but she would have been only 8 or 9 years old at the time this movie was made.
@mrtigerucantfly oh and i forgot Gene Tierney too! =)
Brooklyn Latinos all day
anyone know who the guitarist is? tks
Desi was playing the bongo drum.
that is not desi arnez
haha, this is weird. I like it.
Era español, nació en Gerona en 1900, su familia se lo llevó a Cuba en 1905.
"She's a Bombshell From Brooklyn, and not from Brazil", I'm sure that Brazilian Bombshell Carmen Miranda wouldn't like this song!!!
@IronSabine depends, when was rap invented ( thumbs me down if you want but just stating my opinon)
