Description
Composed by: Sebastian Irdier
Arranged by: Mr Andrew Forrest
Performed by: TPGC Niibori Ensemble
""La Paloma“ was composed and written by Spanish composer Sebastian Iradier (later Yradier) after he visited Cuba in 1861. The song belongs to a genre of songs called "Habaneras”. Like all "Habaneras”, its characteristic and distinct rhythm reflect the fusion of the local Cuban songs that the Spanish sailors brought back from their travels, with the rhythmic structure of the flamenco “tanguillo gaditano” (original from Cádiz, Andalusia)."
