It would be nice to know who were the percussionists playing on those tracks. Alberto Zayas' group had some great percussionists including Giraldo Rodriguez and Mario Jauregui as well as Roberto Maza (who I believe is singing on some of these songs). Anyone know if there are any musician credits on the album/CD cover?

I looked up the back sleeve, but unfortunately no specific credits:

Very nice clip and soundtrack! Thanks for sharing, Beatnik.

The singer on the second track of the first clip (not the actress in the movie, though) is the great Celina González, "the Queen of Cuban country music", from the legendary duo with her husband (and later her son) "Celina y Reutilio". The name of the song is "A la Caridad del Cobre".
