RE: Tarantos compas question (in reply to Jim Opfer)

quote:
There are two forms, Taranta as you say is 'toque libre', but Taranto, is set to a 4 beat Compas, I think just a invention to let dancers in on the fun. Jim, Peter...there was a long string about this on the old Dimitri forum. Taranto and taranta are different cantes from the same family, a bit like caña and polo...same but different. Both are free-form cantes however taranto, being less florid than taranta, lends itself to danceable compas, and so it came to pass that Carmen Amaya started dancing taranto and the cante was put to compas. It remains a cante libre however, and is sung libre if you listen to modern recordings Estela 'Zata'
