Ernesto Lecuona was the composer of "Maleguena", "Siboney", and "Andulasia (the Breeze and I)". Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers perform "the Breeze and I" on the album "Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World Vol. I". Here is my minimal lead sheet for the Art Blakey version in PDF format.

I've taking a trio into a background-music-before-dinner situation this weekend and one good thing about it is that it was a kick in the butt to finally write out this tune. I'm going to make the pianist play the tune straight also, from sheet music I picked up at the Kiwanis sale. If you want the piano arrangement (or some of the files from earlier posts that I deleted to make room for this one) email me.
