RE: Granaina in C# (in reply to mark indigo)

Mark, for the last few weeks I've been meaning to post a message that is nearly identical to yours, with the same video, the reference to alegrías in A, and the same suspicion that Manolo's might be the earliest known example of playing in this key. The track on Mundo y Formas is called "Brindis para Alberto Vélez," so maybe he had something to do with it. It'd be interesting to make a list of recordings (solo and accompaniment) in that key. Although I didn't find anything in the forum archives, I think someone's mentioned a number of tracks in C#, or maybe in D#. quote:
I wonder where he got the idea from? IMO, whoever thought of it first probably just noticed the gap between the other toques (in this case, between granaína and por arriba) and realized that, although the C# tonic is unusual, all the other "fandango" chords in that key are standard stuff: C#, D, E, F# minor, A and B7. Same thing for toque de minera.
