El vito

El vito is a traditional folk song and dance music of Andalusia whose origins can be traced back to the 16th century. Its name refers to the "disease" known as St. Vitus's dance, for its lively and vivid character. It was created in the nineteenth century as a dancing song typical of the bolero.
