Paul Marinier was a successful bandleader and songwriter in the cabarets of Montmartre, and the resident chansonnier at the "La Lune Rousse" at 36, Boulevard de Clichy (a few doors down from the Moulin Rouge). This is the tune to a song he wrote in 1899, presumably to cash in on the association of mandolins with the Spanish Student bands popular at the time.
Played as a duet on two Italian bowlbacks.
1890s Umberto Ceccherini mandolin
1915 Luigi Embergher mandolin
