Hi again
about this one I honestly have serious doubt about the 'Ensemble National de Cuba' being CFN - i'd rather think it's an earlier record maybe 1960 or 1961: probably Teatro y Danza nacional.
The Juan (or was it Eugenio?) de la Rosa never took part in CFN - I may be wrong, but…
It sounds like a live recording of one of the many folklore shows of TNC before CFN was created.
I'll keep on investigating…
saludos
