Performed song about drink in Spain (7)

I believe the answer is:

sangria

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drink in spain' is the definition.
'sangria' can be an answer for 'drink' (type of alcoholic drink). I also know that 'spain' relates to this answer.

'performed song about' is the wordplay.
'performed' becomes 'sang'.
'song' becomes 'air' (air can mean a piece of music).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'air' reversed gives 'ria'.
'sang'+'ria'='SANGRIA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sangria that I've seen before include "Spanish drink based on red wine" , "Spanish alcoholic drink" , "Drink - Iran gas (anag)" , "Mixed drink" , "Spanish sweetened wine drink" .)
