White labels

edit

(Nacionalizada)

Are imprints of the Cuban national label. One such example is MLP 511.

The white labels were post-revolution Nationalized Cuban issue, pre-Egrem.

Zoila Gómez

edit

Very little information exists on Zoila Gómez, who recorded with Pototo and Filomeno (with the Orquesta Melodias del 40) and also as a soloist in the 50's with the Orquesta de Severino Ramos. It is said that she was the wife of Jesús Gorís, of Puchito Records. Perhaps that's why he did not dedicate himself to singing altogether, although he was very good singing puntos guajiro.[3]
