Date: Circa early-to-mid 1960s (tentative).

No explicit date on the label; flagged tentative.Track Details

Notes
This is an educational folk-dance record from the Consejo Nacional de Cultura — part of a numbered series for amateur dance groups — and its "Nacionalizada" imprint reflects the early-1960s nationalization of the record industry (pre-EGREM). The folk-dance program (German, Swedish, Yugoslav, Italian, Lithuanian/USSR selections) also reflects the socialist-bloc cultural orientation.Created By
