CACHOUCHA, THE. AKA and see Fanny Elsler's Spanish Cachuca, La_Cachucha, La_Cachuca, My_Daddy_Was_a_Dutchman. English, Country Dance/Waltz (3/8 time). F Major (Westrop): C Major (Winter). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The Cachoucha was a dance from Andaulsia, the southernmost autonomous community in Peninsular Spain that also found its way to Cuba. Boston music publisher Elias Howe printed the identical tune in his Musician's Omnibus Nos. 6 & 7 (1880-1882) as "Fanny Elsler's Spanish Cachuca", a title that references a ballet dancer who performed it at the Paris Opera in 1836. "The Cachoucha" tune was also entered into the mid-19th century music manuscript of William Winter, a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset.
