quote:
One of my most favourite Tangos is Camaron with Paco de Lucia " Al Padre Santo de Roma". In that short sample, it sounds like toque de granaína (B7-C). quote:
I always associate the "classic" tango with the styles sung around Cadiz Hi John, good to see you here! I said to myself, "Hmmm, looks like this Granjuanillo knows a thing or two about cante!" I agree about the base being in Cádiz. There are tangos from all over Spain (Rafael Marín wrote in his 1902 method that Madrid was the tango capital), but the most essential (=classic) cantes and singers seem to come from the province of Cádiz. quote:
These are sometimes slowed down to tientos, but are often done with the driving tango compas. Yes, there's a lot of overlapping between the two styles. Tientos aren't always as slow and syncopated as some people think. quote:
There is another classic style associated with La Repompa de Malaga - note these are different from the Am tangos de Malaga (which derived from tanguillos de Piyayo). And the tangos de Triana, like Mairena's "El mes de los caracoles." Camarón recorded a lot of tangos: at least enough for an entire CD reissue. But nobody's mentioned the most classic reference of all: Pastora Pavón "La Niña de los Peines." Although she sang nearly everything, she specialized in tientos and tangos at the beginning of her career (her artistic name comes from a tangos that she used to sing when she was very young). Here's a list of some of her later recordings of tientos and tangos. There are plenty more with Luis Molina and Ramón Montoya: Tientos: Preguntó en una ocasión (Currito el de La Jeroma) Había preguntado en una ocasión, Yo no te he dao motivo (Ricardo) No te he dao motivos, Salomón con ser tan sabio (Manolo de Badajoz) Tangos: Los ojitos negros, Quisiera mejor estar loca (Currito el de La Jeroma) Al gurugú, Del color de cera, mare, A mi mare abandoné (Melchor) Mairena's an excellent source, too.
