HABANERA
The Habanera is a slow, graceful Cuban dance which developed in the early nineteenth century from the French contradanza,
and incorporated African rhythms. It became popular in Spain and throughout the Americas and Europe, and is used in
compositions by Georges Bizet (Carmen), Claude Debussy (La Soiree dans Grenadeand La Puerto del Vino), and Emmanuel
Chabrier (España).Count: 123 Quarter notes1 + 2 + 3 + Eighth notes1 + a 2 + a 3 + a Triplet eighth notes1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a Sixteenth notes1 (+) 2 + a 3 (+) 4 (+)
