Electric Spanish Guitar
Charles Magnante and his trio perform the title song in this late soundie.
Soundies were short films, about three minutes in length. The were meant to be played on a machine called a Mills Panoram, a video jukebox that was typically to be found in bars, lounges, and similar venues. You put a dime in and got a performance from the ten on the machine. The movies would be changed weekly, and from 1940 through 1946, Mills and other companies produced more than two thousand soundies.
I think this is the earliest piece in which I've heard an electric guitar used for a Spanish-style number. There's also an electric organ, although not an electric accordion.
