La Cochinchine

Polka · 2/4 · G major

La Cochinchine is a traditional 2/4 polka in G major with an exact composer and detailed historical background that remain uncertain. Musically, it features the upbeat character and lively rhythm typical of nineteenth-century European dance tunes intended for social gatherings. Because its early history is undocumented, the tune is best defined by its enduring appeal as a standard folk dance in this upbeat style.
