A huge amount of marching bands perform this song, and I think of it more as identified with Blast! than anything else

---

I've added a name that defines the song the way it's most often heard today: Bill Holman. His arrangement is the basis of the drum corps chart and probably the UMASS at Amherst chart. If you heard the song in Blast, that's a very tiny adaptation of the Holman arrangement. What I don't know was whether Amherst and the Scouts hired Bill Holman to write that adaptation of his original arrangement, or whether someone else adapted the Holman arrangement.

[edit] Definition of Malaguena

Shouldn't we first provide a definition of what a Malaguena is before going into examples of it? A Malaguena is actually a Flamenco dance style from Malaga in south east Spain. Please see [1].
Furthermore, Malaguena is not a song written by Lecuona, it is actually a piano piece from his piano composition 'Suite Andalusia'. Please see Ernesto Lecuona.
Albeniz also composed a 'Malaguena', which is a piece from his famous piano composition - 'Espana', Opus 165.
Please correct this article accordingly.FRM SYD 04:53, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Esteban

I was thinking that this is the first piece that Esteban teaches on one of his instructional vidoes, but I'm not sure if it's the same song. Someone who knows should verify here. If so, it might be worth listing. ~ Wakanda's Black Panther! (contribs) 01:42, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
