Possible Source for "Que Bonita Bandera"[edit]

I recently heard a composition by 18th Century Catalan composer Joan Baptista Pla (I forget the title) that contained what is evidently a version of the same theme. Perhaps Morales took the theme from Pla (consciously or unconsciously) or perhaps both had the same source (perhaps a folk tune). Anybody know? Kostaki mou (talk) 18:51, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Morales definitely did *not* compose this song. It was published in 1961 in a book by Pete Seeger ("American Favorite Ballads", New York, Oak Publications, p. 14). Seeger claims to have learned the song in 1955 from Puerto Ricans living in New York. Steameng (talk) 20:29, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
