Easy now, they were huge in Miami back in the day
Yeah but not the 2 most charismatic singers to ever play Cuban music. That's just nuts. Those kids were womp.
They don't mention at what time band would start. Does that mean that it's obvious? Or impossible to predict? Or doesn't matter? They mention time for variety show.
Or would band play all the time with some breaks, so if you hang out there long enough you'll hear everything?
Also what kind of venue was it? From movies I imagine casinos and all kinds of debauchery, but I was not even born then, so what do I know .

Forwarded this to a friend of mine who happens to be Roberto Torres's daughter. She got a kick out of it and passed it along to her dad.

The advertisement states from 10pm to 7am. It's a good bet that Joe Cuba Sextet came on around 12 midnight-12:30am or so. With the TP Orchestra around 2:30am-3am.
