Betty Reilly sings TIERRA VA TEMBLA with the accompaniment of Machito & His Afro-cuban Boys.
Frank Grillo better known as Machito was born in Tampa, Florida February 16, 1912. His father was Cuban, but, he was born an American Citizen by his own right. He was raised in Cuba. His mother nicknamed him MACHO and later people call him MACHTIO. He became a very proficient vocalist and maraca player. He came to New York in 1937, looking for a good opportunity. He was a member of many Cuban groups of the time, like Conjunto Moderno, Conjunto Caney, Noro Morales Orchestra and Xavier Cugat Orchestra. After serving his duty in the US army he came back to New York. Later on he formed his own orchestra known as Machito and his Afro-Cubans Boys. Graciela was his sister who was married to Mario Bauza. Their better know hit was Tanga. Here we present these great Cuban artists for the pleasure of our visitors.

Well, Kozmo . . . thanks for replying.
The energy that bursts out of the speakers when a Machito recording is on is like a tidal wave!

Well, folks . . . one HIP Irish-Latina!
What sax is the guy on the left playing---Bass? C-Melody?
HEY--tell me WHY it is SO difficult to find the recordings that Charlie Parker made with Machito's blazing group?

@sopaman1234 I know. See my comment regarding Graciela's remembrance of her from a year ago.

@JazzloverNYC I doubt it very much, i have a 1946 78 rpm copy of this song on the Deluxe label by Betty Fields and many Graciela 78's going back to the 1940's and no way was that lip synched to Graciela voice
or song..

Lip synch, I don't think so my friend!!! Not during that time; plus you can't compare Gracielas voice with Betty.

Pretty cool segue from a mambo to a classic 40's R&B/swing number...

Glad to see this clip of the fab Betty Reilly. THAT was her voice. She also sang with Xavier Cugat, and is the featured vocalist in the movie "On an Island with you". she recored with Capitol records. I have her singing "Besame Mucho" and "when did you leave heaven?" does anyone know what happened to her.
