The zarabanda is an old Spanish dance related to the sarabande especially popular in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is believed to have originated in Native American dances. In its time it was rather controversial since it was thought too indecent – Miguel de Cervantes once said it was "invented in Hell" (this didn't stop him from using zarabandas himself, though). It was banned several times, but it was still performed by many people and even by clerics during the mass.

  • En música, la zarabanda (del italiano sarabanda) es una danza lenta escrita en un compás ternario y se distingue en que los compases 2 y 3 a menudo van ligados, dando un ritmo distintivo de negra y blanca alternativamente. Las blancas corresponden a los pasos arrastrados en el baile. Se tiene primera constancia de la zarabanda en América Central: en 1539, un baile llamado zarabanda se menciona en un poema escrito en Panamá por Fernando Guzmán Mexía. Parece ser que el baile se popularizó en las colonias españolas, antes de cruzar el Atlántico para llegar a España. Aunque fue prohibido en España en 1583 por su obscenidad, fue citado con frecuencia en la literatura de la época . Posteriormente, se convirtió en un movimiento tradicional en la suite durante el Barroco. La zarabanda barroca suele ser más lenta que la española original, siguiendo la interpretación cortesana europea de las danzas latinas. La zarabanda fue resucitada en el siglo 20 por compositores como Claude Debussy, Erik Satie y, con otro estilo, Vaughan Williams y Benjamin Britten . Quizá la zarabanda más famosa es la anónima La Folia, cuya melodía aparece en piezas de varios compositores desde la época de Claudio Monteverdi y Arcángelo Corelli hasta la actualidad. Stanley Kubrick utilizó una zarabanda de George Frideric Handel en la banda sonora de su film Barry Lyndon. (es)
