History
The origin of El queco is disputed, and the sources differ on both the person and the date connected with the work [1][2].
According to one source, the composition dates from 1885 and is attributed to Lino Galeano [1]. The wording "attributed to" marks this as an attribution, not a firmly established fact [1].
Another source places the work in 1874 and names Eloísa de Silva in connection with it [2]. That source does not specify, in the material available here, what role Eloísa de Silva had [2].
The two accounts are eleven years apart and name different people [1][2]. Neither version is preferred here [1][2].
