Tangos de Granada

Hi,
can anybody (Ricardo? Norman?) please clarify the characteristics of Tangos de Granada / Tangos granadinos ?
I can hear the Zambra origins of

but Linares' tangos de Granada sounds much more like the "generic" tangos...

So is it the letras and phrasing?

Hi Ed,

Didn't see your message (PM me next time if it's important). I don't know much about tangos, especially the regional varieties. You probably already know this, but tangos are from Cádiz and became very popular in Madrid around 1900. I'm sure there are some tangos that have "always" been sung in Granada, but it's not a style that's very well documented, as you've probably noticed, and I would say that those cantes have actually not been around that long. Party styles (tangos, bulerías, etc.) tend to be more heterogeneous and subject to flights of fancy, making it difficult to identify specific cantes. If you really want to follow through on this, it might be better to study first old recordings of Cádiz, Jerez and Seville tangos in order to better recognize the ones associated with Granada.

Thanks Norman, you got me pointed in the right direction, and meanwhile I found
this,
and this.
Which are informative, even if the printed tetras don't always match the sound clips

Ed, in case you haven't already seen this website, it's pretty good:

http://iniciacionalflamenco.blogspot.com.es/

I think Humberto owns it or collaborates with it. Anyone know?

The different parts of the site are linked on the right-hand side of the mainpage. Here's the section on tangos and tientos:
