Mi Rumba

"Mi Rumba" is a short film that is a 'Soundie'...an early sort of music video that was played on specially built jukeboxes from 1940-1947. These jukeboxers were unusual because they not only played music but video...like music videos of the modern era. And, if you are curious about this an other soundies, you might want to buy yourself a copy of "Soundies the Ultimate Collection"...a 4 disc set of about 200 of these films.

As far as the Soundies go, this is one of the earliest ones and features the Lola and Andre Dancers as they Rumba. They are dancing to the zippy beat provided by Nano Rodrigo and His Orchestra...a group mostly forgotten today...which is why the film is so important historically.
