Home phonograph player of Amberol celluloid cylinders by the Edison Gramophone company, dated 1910 |
Listen to Gracia Rivera sing the guaracha "Para Tí" on an Amberol cylinder made by the Edison company.
Listen to the singers called Parilla and Carillo on a Columbia disk titled Seis Mampelle. It really is not a seis Seis Mapeyé, but more accurately is an Aguinaldo Cagueño.
Listen to side two of the same disk, where Parilla and Carillo sing a song named Seis Mariandá. It really is not a seis Mariandá, but more accurately is a Seis del Dorado.
