Both acts seem good enough they ought to be well-known. There's some lyrics that a better Spanish speaker might make out...

This is from the coda of a documentary on Arcaño y sus Maravillas, recorded in 1974.
 
That second seems to be mozambique rhythmically, it's very similar to

 
It (the second) sounds quite close to Orquesta Ritmo Oriental, e.g.


or


I guess I'll have a listen through what they've published.
 
The number of bands I've heard of that were big in Cuba at that time playing modernised son-based music can be counted on the fingers of 1 hand. So La Ritmo Oriental is very likely. But someone who knows what they looked like could instantly confirm or dispute that.

First song is (a very raw) version of Valle de Picadura, performed by Irakere. (It's a song entirely about a state dairy farm which was managed by Ramón Castro).

The second song actually is Ritmo Oriental, it's Adios no estoy loco
