Many sources say this was written in 1882 by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés, but this author doesn't show up much in the credits on covers.
The first recording of the song was probably made by Trio Gonzales for Victor Records in 1919 (Male vocal duet with guitar).
Rec date: 12/15/1919 (New York, New York)
Released on Victor 72563.
B-side was Adelita, another Spanish classic.

C'est bien plus loin que ça (plusieurs centaines d'années quand des français d'Orléans vinrent déforester les forêts d'un endroit qu'ils ont appelé "New Orleans". Les indiens qui y habitaient virent le soleil (rising sun, chant...indiens). Hashi akotchaka :-) S . K.
