^ Don't worry, we all make similar mistakes sometimes.

Another example of Pan-Hispanic music heritage: Habanera. A genre originated in Cuba, it was brought to Spain by sailors, where it became very popular. It also has many similarities with Argentine milonga. And thanks to certain famous songs, it is also well-known in Mexico, the rest of the Hispanic world, and even in some countries outside it. One of those songs is La paloma ("The Dove"), one of the best internationally-known in music history (more than 2,000 recordings in different languages and styles). You can listen to versions by Los Panchos (Mexico), Billy Vaughn orchestra (instrumental), Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, Charlie Parker and many others:
