[ from wikipedia ]
"Begin the Beguine" is a song written by Cole Porter (18911964). Porter composed the song at the piano in the bar of the Ritz Hotel in Paris. In October 1935, it was introduced by June Knight in the Broadway musical Jubilee produced at the Imperial Theatre in New York City.
The beguine music form comes from Martinique where in local Creole Beke or Begue means a White person. Beguine is the female form of Begue and it is a combination of Latin and French dance music forms that once created was frequently requested by the hostesses of dances in Martinique. From there requests for the form had spread to Paris.

Oh THANK YOU for this. I read that the accordionist was the best in the land. It came from an LP vinyl titled: "The Lazy Gondolier".

aunque me llamen despectivamente antigua y romantica e incluso barroca estas canciones me gustan. La música es la mejor amiga durante toda la vida. Lo demás es mentira y falsedad. Con estos compases hay personas que vuelven como dice el título a vivir la juventud que se nos ha ido o la hemos desperdiciado amando a quien no se lo merecían
