It was released in the United States by Everest Records in stereo, which makes the sound quality particularly good compared to other Cuban albums of the time.

[3] Having directed radio and cabaret orchestras for two decades, this was one of the first albums recorded by Bebo with his own jazz-band, known as Orquesta Sabor de Cuba, which featured jazzmen such as saxophonists Edilberto Escrich and Santiago Peñalver.

[4] However, shortly after the end of the Cuban Revolution in 1960, Bebo left Cuba and went into a long hiatus which lasted until 1994.

The album cover makes a reference to the revolution by showing Fidel Castro's patrol cap with a 26 de julio inscription.

[5] Mark Romano of AllMusic called the album "a peek back to a glorious golden era", highlighting the "great arrangements" and the "top form" of the orchestra.
