This Spanish walk (proto-samba dance) number was written in 1905
by Charles Borel-Clerc (1879-1959).
Also known as "La Sorella", this well-recorded Pathé brothers selection
was marketed as a 'popular march'.
Fifty years later, the tune was revived as Passepartout's theme in the 1956 movie
"Around the World in Eighty Days".
