Arre Caballito

The band's first single, backed with "La Parada", and the title song of the debut LP.
Manzanita y su Conjunto, from Arre Caballito (1969)

Berardo Hernández is credited as writer and Alberto Maravi as producer at the Infopesa studio, per Midas Records. El Comercio dates the first 45 to 1968 and a fan blog to 1969; it was an instant hit in Peru, which led to the LP. It runs 3:03 on the 2020 reissue, and Discogs tags it cumbia and descarga. We found no personnel for the track, no artist statement on its meaning, and no chart history, video, covers or samples, and we could not identify which upload ours is.
