Mexico’s waltz gift to the world: ‘Over the Waves’ (videos)


Even if you didn’t know that the proper name for this waltz is Sobre las OlasOver the Waves en Ingles — we bet you recognize the melody. Right? It’s the song they play on merry-go-rounds! And it’s not by Johann Strauss, the waltz king. It’s by Mexican classical composer Juventino Rosas, and performed here by the London Symphony Orchestra.
