Classical Music a Popular Classic of the Great Composer Jacques Offenbach.

The can-can (more correctly not hyphenated, as in the original French: cancan) is regarded today primarily as a physically demanding music hall dance, performed by a chorus line of female dancers who wear costumes with long skirts, petticoats, and black stockings, that hearkens back to the fashions of the 1890s. The main features of the dance are the lifting up and manipulation of the skirts, with high kicking and suggestive, provocative body movements.

The Galop from Jacques Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld is the tune most associated with the can-can

  • Im in love with this song :D Is this standard tuning?

  • @OmegaRed1993 Yes standard tunning!!

  • Sería muy bonito si Lalo Díaz también respondiera a los cumplidos que recibe en su propio idioma.Sé que es un gran compositor e intérprete,que es conocido en internet y en televisión. Compone bellísimo. Sólo me entristece que no responda a los cumplidos en español, generalmente es con gente de otros países y me sorprende pues en México y en latinoamérica hay también gente que aprecia su trabajo. Felicidades Lalo OTRA VEZ! Hope I don´t have to write in English in order to get a response.

  • Hola Martha muchas gracias por tu comentario, si contesto los comentarios y no tiene nada que ver con el idioma , tal vez piensas eso por que la mayoria de los comentarios que recibo son de otros paises, gracias por ver mis videos :-) saludos.

  • Thanks for your comments!!!!!!!!!

  • Mr. Diaz, excellent performance. Where would I find the sheet music to "can can"? Is this piece known by another name by chance.

  • the music is on the book called popular classics of the great composers by Jason Waldron volume 2, progressive.

  • This tune is formally known as "Infernal Galop" from the 1858 opera "Orpheus in the Underworld" by Jacques Offenbach. The dance of the Can-can actually predated this piece of music by a few decades.

  • nice !!
