Hmmmmm, you might be right for the first part. It's a Farruca, so it could be "With Salt Cellar and Garbo"???

My spanish dictionary defines 'garbo' as 'grace, charm, panache'

so 'With Salt and Panache' ?

Salero: spice, wit. Often shouted, like así se canta, eso es, etc. Was/is common jaleo in Cádiz. Garbo: grace, elegance.

I checked out Greta's original name: Greta Louisa Gustafsson. She was given the name Garbo at the age of 18 by Mauritz Stiller, then directing movies in Sweden, when he cast her in a small role. No confirmation that he chose the name because of her grace and elegance, nor any indication that he knew Spanish, but one can suppose that The Hand of Fate intervened.

One can hear cries of "¡Salero, salero!" on the classic 1928 recording by the superlative Cádiz cantaor Aurelio de Cádiz, with Ramón Montoya, Parasela CD, #CDP 3/656, 1996.
