You have to give credit where credit is due. These 2 films, more soundies then stag films feature the very rambunctious Amalia Aguilar doing two VERY furious dances. The first one is more sensual then the other, but both of them equally entertaining. Highly reccomended!

Very entertaining film, the girls are quite beautiful and the Afro-Cuban jazz is nice. I'm definitely keeping it.

A Hispanic exotic dancer shakes her booty to some hot Latin rhythms. Then she appears in a different costume to rhumba the night away. During this segment, she does some acrobatic tricks, such as doing a complete backbend and picking up a handkerchief in her mouth, and doing the splits. Mostly, though, she just shakes her booty. All in the name of multiculturalism, of course. What this has to do with Africa, though, is questionable. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: **. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: **.
