A tune that Camilo Ronzano, gaitero de Las Parras de Castellote (1913-2002), used to play on the dulzaina. He had learned it from Julián Andolz, alias Tío Tieso (1844-1917). Since the Aragonese folk revival in the 1980s this habanera has been a cherised tune in every dulzaina player repertoire.

This is the arrangement for ukulele in low G by Choan Gálvez, included in his book Fiesta Mayor.
