Guest -> Villancicos for Christmas. (Dec. 12 2004 13:07:27)

Since I got some good replies on farruca and peteneras, and since Christmas is almost on us, might as well push my luck and ask if any of you play villancicos at all?
These Christmas cantes are one of my favourite flamenco listening items but they are still very flamenco and need the accompaniment. If you can ever catch the video clip of Chano Lobato singing this palo in front of the high altar in a cathedral you'll see what I mean. Charming stuff and, like saetas, religious in content, they are nevertheless the stuff of which flamenco is made. Any of you play them?
Jim.
