[Dixielandjazz] Rio Bravo Song is NOT Deguello as supposedly played at the Alamo.

[Stephen G Barbone]

Contrary to popular myth and the words in the movie that the movie  
song is Deguello as supposed played by Santa Ana's band before the  
final charge at the Alamo, it most certainly is NOT.

List mate Toitp Martino directed us to a you tube that is the CORRECT  
Deguello. It is a trumpet call, not a song, and very different from  
the Rio bravo piece. Your ears will tell you that if you listen to both.

The Rio Bravo SONG was composed by Dimitri Tiomkin for the movie The  
Alamo and later modified by Enrico Morricone for the film Rio Bravo.  
To hear the original trumpet call go to  the below site suggested by  
Tito.

"The real mexican tune (not the spanish one) is here circled in red."
