La Comparsa

[Spitfire]

Anyone familiar with La Comparsa?

La Comparsa is a tune originally composed and performed by a classic Cuban Pianist named Ernesto Lecuona. My grandmother who teaches piano often plays this tune and teaches it to her more advanved students.

I'm wondering if there are any contemporary recordings of this tune; I've only heard it from my grandmother and her students on piano, but it sounds like it would be great for Salsa when played by a band.

You don't mean La Cumparsita, the Argentine tango tune, do you? No, I thought not. Just figured I'd ask. *shrug*

I tried googling it, and got a bunch of matches in Spanish, which I can't read. Will google again, and try to restrict my results to English language stuff I have some hope of understanding. Hey. Doesn't google have a translation function?
Will try.

I also tried amazon.com, and got no direct matches. *sigh* Will keep trying.

Ernesto Lecuona. The song is on that CD. :D
