We're back for week 6 of Fiddle Tune Tuesdays!
This week we're bringing you La Partida, a Venezuelan waltz written by Carlos Bonnet (October 29, 1892 – January 16, 1983). Bonnet was a Venezuelan composer and conductor who wrote many beautiful songs, though none so lastingly popular as La Partida, as evidenced by its many beautiful contemporary recordings and its growing presence in the Irish traditional music scene. A career military man, Bonnet conducted the Venezuelan Army 1st Brigade Music Band and was the dean of the Venezuelan Military Orchestra School.
We're excited to share our first tune from South America and are looking forward to more!
All our love,
Late for the Train
