In August 1955, Álvarez was featured in a Tropicana production of "Evocación (Evocation)" and "Seis Lindas Cubanas (Six Pretty Cubans)" the latter referencing the six provinces of Cuba (before the Revolution). The production was staged by Rodrigo Neira, who was known as "Rodney". The show was presented in a telecast from Medellín, Antioquia, and was a review of nineteenth century Cuban dance and music. Other performers included Xiomara Alfaro, Cuarteto Faxas, Estelita Santaló, Cuarteto d'Aida, Leonela González, the dancers Ana Gloria and Rolando, and the Lago Sisters Trio.
