Thanks so much, Christopher for the quick response! The 'yippee-aye-ay'
is quite amusing to me as well. With this version, in particular, when
Sagi-Vela begins singing I immediately think of the American Civil War
song, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home."

As long as I'm in the zarzuela inquiring mood, let me ask you:

Do you have a complete (correct) playlist for that particular disc?
There are a couple arias I'm not familiar with. One, I've deduced is
from a the zarzuela El Baturrico. I've not been singing zarzuelas for
very long, so I don't know this one. I check your site but didn't see
anything about it there either. The other is from La Viuda Alegra, by
Lehar and I think I have other disc of that "zarzuela." Any input?

Abrazos,
Julian
