Those of you who are familiar with Murcia's well known "Cumbees" will
recognise the opening bars and one or two of the variations are similar as
well. Alejandro Vera seems to think it may be by Murcia - who would have
been about 30 years old when the ms. was copied - but who knows?
Anyway - it seems to work well with the re-entrant tuning (but did I detect
a high octave string on the 3rd course?). Otherwise very nice.

Look in the first playlist. I burried it in the middle. Note that it
has warts. Also, I assume this is one of those New World dances that
has some African influence... Courtly fun taking a cue from the slave
trade and all that. Anyway, that's how I tried to read the music...
Cheers cud
