A bit more about the origin of the song:

Habanera written by Sebastián Yradier in 1859 while on a world tour with diva Adelita Patti, inspired by rhythms witnessed in La Havana. Popularity started in 1864 in Mexico, where newly established Emperor Maximilian named it his favorite tune and even requested to hear it as his last will before being executed three years later. The tune became a local hit among the masses as Adios Mama Carlota (Charlotte was the name of the Empress); lyrics were credited to president in exile Benito Juarez. [...] Yradier never realized how popular his song would be (he died in 1865). On the German Trikont label at least three volumes came out in the series La Paloma, One Song For All World (Mit La Paloma um die Welt). Oldest version there: a barrel-organ from Vienna (1893).
