Perez Prado and The Miracle of the Mambo

"Upon your approval or disapproval rests the entire future of this group".
Perez Prado, his Orchestra playing Mambo No. 8 
1950
The female dancer is Maria Antonieta Pons, a famed Cuban ballerina. The man is "Resortes" (Adalberto Matrinez) a renowned Mexican comic actor and dancer, often credited with inventing "The Moonwalk" later popularized by Michael Jackson. 

It turned out to be a fine and dandy future.
