Uaaaaau Noro Morales, no pense que habia un video de este gigante olvidado
Orgullo de Puerto Rico es Salsa 🇵🇷
What a treasure!!! 20-odd years or so after this, the 'Salsa' movement would have been born, and spread across NYC and the world.
Primer video dond veo a noro Morales 👍
Luba Malina was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, the daughter of Vatali Malina, a member of the Moscow Art Theater. She started her career on-stage at the age of five, as a member of Anna Pavlova's children's ballet. The family fled the hardship of post-revolutionary Russia when she was seven and came to America after seven years in Shanghai and three years in London and Paris.
Luba Malina studied in Greenwich Village, and her good looks opened lots of doors for her as a performer, although she was initially looked upon as a very serious singer, rather than a comedienne. She appeared in musicals produced by the Shuberts and sang in clubs such as the Copacabana and the Versailles in New York, and the Chez Paree in Chicago. Malina also showed up in a handful of "soundies" during the early '40s, including Cuban Pete along with Noro Morales Orchestra.
Los 3 eran PR 🇵🇷
Lastima que una vida desordenada se lo llevara ante de tiempo , a los 53 años , se dice que consumía una botella a diario de ron que sumaba a la diabetes , mucho duro este formidable músico ..
@LuisMandragora Since I posted my comment on Luba Malina, I found her mentioned in her husband's obituary in the New York Times (6-29-82). She had married a prominent attorney, Myron Sulzberger, Jr. who was once a congressional candidate. The IMDB has no information on her, but since reading this additional information, I think it safe to conclude she had a comfortable life. I find no record of her passing, but assume she probably has..
@ybravura You are absolutely right! He is the real father of mambo and Latin Music that later became known as Salsa! Blessings!
Noro is is giant but he is not the father of Mambo which is orginal from Havana by the Orestes + Israel bros.

Casi no se oye a Noro y muy chillona las voz de la cantante. Pero gracias de todas maneras por subirlos
Lastima que viviera tan sólo 53 años , una diabetes y el consumo diario de una botella de ron , se lo llevaron .. formidable músico y como pianista , uno de los mejores en su tiempo..
En su tiempo y en la actualidad
Y de todos los tiempos
Does anyone know whatever became of Luba Malina? There are several of her performances captured on Soundies...but she seems to have somehow totally disappeared after the 1950's. I always enjoy her act...
Recently, I located an article in the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette for July 2, 1949, where the colorful star was named as
Co-respondent in a divorce battle of a prominent NYC attorney (Myron
Sulzberger, Jr.) . news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1129&dat=19490702&id=3JJRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=S2oDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2679,4992372&hl=en
I guess the guy’s wife caught Luba and her husband doin’ the nasty
in various cars, etc. Tsk tsk. She eventually married him, as I had
found another reference to the Malina/Sulzberger union in an obituary
for the naughty attorney.
I had been trying to find whatever happened to Luba and pretty much
resolved my search with the knowledge that she had probably had a
relatively nice life married to a successful lawyer - who had once run
for Congress. I think that "run" was before the embarrassing scandal
that played out in the papers. That Luba, she just oozed that old “fire
down below” in her performances...and it would appear that it
resurfaced in her personal life!
THIS IS a USA version In Puerto Rico i know she had more class
It's too bad that Noro Morales, one of the greatest pianists of all time, is almost inaudible in the mix.
Y Tito Puentes 🤔🤔🤔
Edward Fonseca Tito Puente is on the drums at the beginning of this video and on the lower level is Lil Ray Romero on the congas. These were the very early years. Tito must’ve been around 16 years old. He started his career with Noro Morales, the original King of Latin jazz.
What a Joke.
