quote:
ORIGINAL: Kate Quoting the guide to Andalusian Flamenco, "The Zorongo was black american dance, of great success in theatres, dance schools, an dparties during the romantic era that has fallen into disuse. However Gypsies began to cultivate this dance at the begnning of the 20 th century in such a way that it has become a style now belonging to the repertoire of many dancers and singers and guitarists. Its performed in modal tones with the first part being free style and a chorus to the tempo of the buleria" I have one on a CD and will try and find out how to make an MP3. un saludo Kate That is real interesting, never heard about that. But honestly, in flamenco terms, it refers specifically to the Lorca piece. The first part of the song (la luna es pozo chico...) is sort of slow and free but in 3 beats, the second part gets faster and is really bulerias, or uses that compas anyway. Very typical is to use it as an intro for Siguiriyas of all things, I mean danced numbers, not sure who started doing that, but you know from the Carmen Amaya era when everyone with a big dance troupe was in USA.
