We're back for week 6 of Fiddle Tune Tuesdays!
This week we're bringing you La Partida, a Venezuelan waltz written by Carlos Bonnet (October 29, 1892 – January 16, 1983). Bonnet was a Venezuelan composer and conductor who wrote many beautiful songs, though none so lastingly popular (as far as we can gather) as La Partida.

Fiddle Tune Tuesdays: Week 4 - Salt Spring by John Reischman
Fiddle Tune Tuesdays: Week 3 - Muiñeira de Manuel Dopazo
This week, we’re traveling to Galicia!
