Notes and sounds by Marianne Bröcker: La petite Tonkinoise - From a Cabaret-Song to a 'National Tanz'

Preparing a part of the panel for the Vienna ICTM World Conference in 2007 Marianne Bröcker wrote: "Before Joséphine Baker took up this song in the 1920's it was already widespread in Germany as a song with different lyrics and the melody became later on even a 'National' dance in some regions, a sign for the multi-usability of this melody, which was also thought to be of Brittan (Northwest France) origin." Marianne accepted and planned to be a part of the panel "La petite Tonkinoise: A widespread music and dance virus" that we organised in Vienna, two years after the Sheffield ICTM World Conference. Cachy melody that some members of our Study Group on Ethnochoreology recognised and start to sing in Greek or other thought that can be a Romanian operetta, or maybe a composition by Offenbach, was an anegdotal initial interest that we presented at the Vienna's Conference, unfortunately without Marianne who canceled her participation. In this paper we would like to present her "notes and sounds" about German versions of the melody in the context of our mutual cross-cultural research.
