Notes

Date: Circa early-to-mid 1960s (tentative). The "Impresora Cubana de Discos (Nacionalizada)" imprint points to the period soon after the nationalization of Cuban record pressing (early 1960s), and the Consejo Nacional de Cultura operated 1961–1976; together these bracket the disc to the early/mid-1960s. No explicit date on the label; flagged tentative.

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.
