Written in the 1920s for a musical play, but now most commonly associated with the eponymous 1936 Mexican motion picture "Allá en el Rancho Grande".
There has been a vigorous debate about who actually wrote the song. Some say nobody can take credit for the composition because the authorship is unknown. The tune was around long before it had any commercial success, the argument goes, and is simply a folk song that’s now in the public domain.
Nevertheless, prominent songwriters on both sides of the US-Mexican border have claimed the song's copyrights. The most widely accepted credit is by Juan Díaz del Moral, for the lyrics, and Emilio D. Uranga, for the music. The song was originally written for Mexico City’s vibrant musical theater, according to Diaz del Moral’s biography on the website of SACM, the Mexican composer’s society. The pair reportedly registered the song in 1927, nine years before the film was released. - Published by
