Reviews edit
This was the second film directed by Juan Orol with his second film muse: the exuberant Cuban rumbera Rosa Carmina. The film was filmed shortly after her film debut in the film A Woman from the East. Rosa Carmina says: "Begins to like my presence, my films are very successful. I start doing tours throughout Mexico. My dance number was the song wrote by Armando Valdez for the film: "Bururu Manengue" and it was based on pure drums."[1]
