Brief Classical-Musical Thought
Every orchestral composition by Silvestre Revueltas reminds me of the drunk scene from Dumbo. This also goes for any of south-of-the-border-sounding stuff by Gershwin, Copland, Bernstein etc. Always has. The portion of the clip from about 3:25 onwards might explain that, but I'm not sure why the movie hasn't messed up any of the other musical genres it parodies for me.
As an aside, after rewatching that particular chunk of Dumbo for the first time since childhood I seriously doubt that alcohol is the substance that actually inspired that whole sequence, unless Dumbo and the circus-looking rat decided to find out what happens when you mix absinthe with mezcal.

Q: What do you get when you mix absinthe and mezcal?
A: Drunk
While somehow, despite an identical genetic predisposition and upbringing, I haven't thought about the movie "Dumbo" since 1987.
No, seriously, "Sensemaya" doesn't sound at all like that.
