MUSIC BY:  The salon habanera.

The habanera, derived from European country dance, was considered in colonial Cuba as a lounge music. It influenced both on a social, musical and cultural scale and achieved such fame that it spread to different countries such as Mexico - especially the Yucatan Peninsula - starting in important concert halls and thus incorporating into the Yucatecan Trova, later in Chile it was consecrated, first in the salons of the aristocracy and was later adopted in the salons of the middle class called "salones de medio pelo". In Spain, the importance of this genre was such that it was incorporated into the zarzuela to extend its influence throughout Europe and specifically in Catalonia it became part of the popular melodies that sounded at dusk in the sailors' taverns. Today this genre is still more alive than ever and we can find it in numerous pieces of new composition. "Camí d'anda i tornada" is a tapestry of melodies where the habanera is the protagonist along with other types of "sister" music such as for example the bolero with which it shares the same root and starting point.
