Pena, Penita

¡Ay, Pena, Penita, Pena! was premiered by Luisa Ortega and her father Manolo Caracol as part of the production "La Copla Nueva" in 1951 at the Calderón Theater in Madrid. The lyrics are by Rafael León and Antonio Quintero, and it was composed by Manuel López-Quiroga Miquel.
However, the song did not become popular until two years later, when Lola Flores sang it in the Mexican/Spanish musical "Oh Pain, Little Pain, Pain."
Sabicas released "Pena Penita" in 1958 as a duo with Mario Escudero on his LP "Gipsy Guitar".
