Here are some of my other Cuban 78s.
Not finding much information on Pedro Via but I am finding mentions of Jose 'Chiquito' Socarrás...not sure if he was related to the famous Alberto Socarrás, the famed Cuban that recorded with Clarence Williams jazz bands.
From wikipedia...
"What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" is a popular song
originally written in Spanish by María Grever, a Mexican songwriter, in 1934.
Originally, the song was known as Cuando Vuelva A Tu Lado ("When I Return
To Your Side"). The song is also known in English as "What a
Diff'rence a Day Makes", as popularized by Dinah Washington .
Recorded (in Cuba or New York?) on December 10, 1934.
The English lyrics were written by Stanley Adams, and was
played by Harry Roy & His Orchestra. It was published in late 1934. The
most successful early recording, in 1934, was by the Dorsey Brothers.
Recorded (in Cuba or New York?) on December 10, 1934.

ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Love the "chino rumba", but wish the audio worked on the flip. Here is a youtube link to an early version of cuando vuelva a tu lado by a puerto rican for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxGnO17CDOw

ReplyDeleteThis was recorded in NYC not Havana. There was little recording I know of in Cuba from 1931 to about 1937.
ReplyDeleteAlso Via had engagements in NYC at this time (of course that would not preclude a trip to Havana).
Terrific version
