Dear Steve, 
Thanks for that.
A very interesting read.
Mention was made of Don Azpiazu and his Havana Casino Orchestra
Here it is with a filmed version of its hit "El Manicero":

Also released by Victor as The Peanut Vender [sic] recorded in New York on 13 May 1930.

However I still prefer the louis 'cover' version for Okeh made on 23 December 1930;

But then I would, wouldn't I?
