Güiro -> using the same letras for different palos (May 16 2009 9:44:57)

I was listening to the bulerias Mi buleria corta by Miguel Poveda and realized that part of the letra also appears in the tangos Pa' saber de tu querer by Jose Merce. The letra is

lo digo y lo voy hacer
lo digo y lo voy hacer
un telephono chiquetito pa' saber de tu querer

I have head this letra in other tangos as well, for example,
esperando el porvenir by Joaquin el Zambo. I had assumed that this was a standard tangos letra. How common is it to use a letra for more than one palo?

Hi Güiro,

Letras based on the same traditional meter are interchangeable. For example, tientos and tangos, soleá, bulerías and cantiñas (alegrías, etc.) are three or four lines of eight-syllable verse, and anything that fits and sounds cool is fair game. You may have noticed that fandangos, malagueñas and cantes de Levante (taranta, etc.) almost always use five-line verse, siguiriyas has the long middle line, guajiras are completely different, etc.

Two days ago Conrad sent me an album titled 'Flamenco por Andalucia, Espana y la Humanidad'.

The letras on all recorded palos are the andalusian hymn:

La bandera blanca y verde
vuelve tras siglos de guerra
a decir Paz y Esperanza
bajo el sol de nuestra tierra

Andaluces levantaos!
Pedid tierra y libertad!
Sea por Andalucia libre
España y la Humanidad

Los andaluces queremos
volver a ser lo que fuimos
hombres de luz que a los hombres
alma de hombres les dimos

Palos: bulerias 2x, mineras, solea, alegrias, seguiriya&tona, fandangos de lucena, verdiales&jaberas, tangos, taranta&cartegenera, fandangos de huelva.

Very cool.
