4th October 1941 La Paloma Postcard, sent via feldpost, featuring the lyrics to 'La Paloma - Die weiße Taube'. Ref: 04.10.1941 La Paloma - Die weiße Taube by Sebastián Iradier You Tube link to the song Sebastián Iradier is known primarily for his habaneras, especially the one titled 'La Paloma' , written around 1860 after a visit to Cuba. 'La Paloma' was extremely popular in both Spain and the Americas (especially Mexico), where it was responsible for the great popularity achieved by the habanera. Radio Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) has estimated that there are more than one thousand versions of 'La Paloma' , and said that, together with 'Yesterday' by The Beatles, it is one of the most recorded songs in the history of music. It appears that the lyrics on the present postcard are not those of the original composition although they are set to the original music.
