Regarding the jota, a lot has been written about both the dance and the
tune, it is played in most of Spain, though nowadays is strongly associated
with Aragon, and it is normally written (with exceptions) in 3/8
I danced the jota for a season in an international folk dance troupe many years ago. It was quite challenging! Sort of like trying to do some of the Scottish national dances while playing castanets.
