Marquina was a Spanish bandleader who wrote music for
his band to play at bullfights in Madrid
Espaņa Caņi means "Spanish Gypsy Dance"
The song is popular among ballroom dancers as a "Paso
Doble" (literally, "double step")
It is used so much by ballroom dancers
that it is often simply referred to as "the Paso Doble song"
The Paso Doble is traditionally used as introductory
music for a bull fight, and is the music used to usher in the matadors,
picadors, horses and bandilleros
Espana Cani was written somewhere around 1925
