Monique Lyr Add: The Unhappy Owl / Tecolote de Guadana (27) RE: Lyr Add: The Unhappy Owl / Tecolote de Guadana 23 May 14


There's a version of it in Spanish-American Folk-Songs collected by Eleanor Hague and published by The American Folk-Lore Society (1917). Something puzzles me: some sites mention the song as written by Alberto Domínguez Borrás who seems to be born either in 1907 or 1911 or 1913. He's supposed to have written it at age 6 (or 9!) which can only be if he was born in 1907 and he wrote it at 6. Then how could the song be collected around 2 years later? That is the question! Any idea anyone?


Here are two midis for Tecolote de guadaña, #1 is the midi for this version Cancionero infantil mexicano by Antonio Avitia Hernández, Selector, Mx, page 53), #2 is the one for the version in Spanish-American Folk-Songs collected by Eleanor Hague and published by The American Folk-Lore Society (1917) that I linked to on my 05/23/14 -8:45pm post.
