Several thousand Key Westers and. visitors enjoyed the colorful performance with the unique Farolas, the . compelling Latin rhythms, the gaily costumer danc- ers snaking their way down Du- val street. Many of the visitors who had’ not previously bought: tickets, found the Conga Line suf- ; ficiently enticing to follow it: down to the Cuban Club and buy ! admissions to the performance. Every table was taken and the walls were lined with standees. Judge Enrique Esquinaldo was the very popular master of cere- monies and Mayor Louis M. J. Eisner were the Latin-American Chamber's guésts of Honor. There were also two large tables of! press and radio representatives | from the President's party. Whether it has the Conga Line that inspired them, or the music } of the two excellent orchestras, Los Cumbancheros and El Cu- baney, everyone who could get on the dance floor danced almost continuously. The half dozen excellent num. bers presented all brought en- thusiastic applause and almost all of them were encored. These numbers are just about one-third of the program prepar- ed by Alberto.
