The leader is Miguel Caló, 1944, with 90% of the 40 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

“No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.

Choose A and B on two recordings to hear them one after the other.

In their words

  • Y usted va jugando, jugando con esto. Sí, me parece hermoso además. Pienso que uno tiene que esperar y tener ganas de brindarle todo, como te vuelvo a decir.
