This is a melody from a music box I remember as a child but I can’t find out what it’s called. I pieced together what I could remember using an online music box music maker program.
Here is my best guess at music notation:
A#4-G4-G4-A4-G4-F4-A#4-D4
F4-G4-F4-F4-C5-A4
F4-G4-F4-F4-D5-A#4
A#4-A#4-A#4-A#4-G4
G4-A4-G4-F4-A#4-D4
F4-G4-F4-F4-C5-A4
F4-G4-A4-A#4
Forgive the crudity of the recording. This was made after I spent an hour or so piecing together what I could remember. I am not musically inclined.
All the sound sample websites failed to help me surprisingly.
Watawinegui consup, watawinegui wanaga Watawinegui consup, watawinegui wanaga Si tú quieres bailar SOPA DE CARACOL, HEY!!!
This is a classic Punta song popularized by a Hondureño band, Banda Blanca. It’s sung in both Spanish and the Indigenous language of Garifuna
This is pretty close but I’ll have to find the sheet music to see if there melody was simplified for a music box mechanism (comb.) The song is just old enough its possible a music box company used the melody, which is super common with music box mechanism makers, so it could’ve been in the box I’m thinking of (early 1990’s.)
I had been thinking it was based on a polka but I can hear how it could be a simplified version of something latin. I’ve also made a better copy of the music using a proper music box song generator if you’d like to hear a better version: https://mp3tourl.com/audio/1790689146995-42f0d94c-8547-4840-8066-cb42924194dd.mp3
I don’t recognize the specific melody but it feels like something from southern Germany/Austria/Switzerland.
The theory thus far has been it’s some kind of polka but I’m not totally sure. Not being a professional musician means my examples lack the proper tempo to really be certain. Plus reducing any song down to a music box comb reduces it so much its hard to glean stylistic clues from it.
it sounds a little bit like Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór
Not it I’m afraid. Even tried the similar songs google recommended. It could be a waltz but I suspect its actually based on a polka.
