Tongolele

Growing up in Mexico i remember so well seeing this lady on tv while i would watch with my mom Tin-Tan movies. i secretly admired her and i say secretly because tongoleles hair was often made fun of by my mom and brother, yet i thought it was the most glamourous thing in the world and i still liked her after i seen pictures of her as an old lady!! the way she danced her signature African-Cuban dance was terrific. A teaser and you could say burlesque dancer, was born in the united states from Cuban parents later on she moved to mexico when she started working as a burlesque dancer in the 1940's.
