Noro Morales was created in Puerto Rico in 1911 and found NY in 1935, where he played briefly using the rings of Alberto Socarras and Augusto Coen before establishing the Brothers Morales (Noro-Humberto-Esy) orchestra in 1939. The 1942 Decca 78 “Serenata R¡tmica” provided Morales instant identification. During the 10 years from the ’40s, his and Machito’s music group was typically the most popular in NYC.
