Versions of En el séptimo cielo recorded 1954

"En el séptimo cielo" is a work in the tango genre [1]. A work listing names Manuel Campoamor as its composer [1].

The same listing gives no lyricist for the work, entering a dash in the lyricist field [1]. This suggests the piece is catalogued as an instrumental, though the source does not state this directly [1].

The listing records one performance and one track of the work [1]. The only dated performance is a recording by the Quinteto Pirincho, directed by Francisco Canaro, dated 2 August 1954, which is therefore the earliest known recording of the piece [1]. The available source gives no year of composition or premiere [1].
