Song

Las mirlas

Music by Clímaco Vergara. 1 recordings in our catalogue, 1951–1951.

Las mirlas: Las Mirlas is presented as a waltz but is actually a bambuco, a rhythm from Colombia's coast, converted into waltz form; closest in feel to a Peruvian waltz (e.g. Que nadie sepa mi sufrir) but really its own thing.†
