Since Americans like are busy learning the "big 5" palos, solea, alegrias, bulerias, siguiriyas, and tangos, what's happening to all the other forms? Why Americans? quote:
are these palos dying out in Spain? No. What are dying out are some of the conditions that allow for natural development of the art form (parties). quote:
but there's still a whole bunch of others right? Did you see the list? The most common today are soleá, siguiriya, bulería, cantiña, tango, tiento, malagueña, granaína, taranta and fandango. quote:
There was 6 or 8 years ago at the Bienal a release called the Guia Telematica that gave samples of 102 forms. Might be this: http://flun.cica.es/web/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=16 quote:
All of these are now pretty rare Nothing rare about cartageneras. Still the most common cante minero. The classic letra for one of the two cartageneras that everyone's heard is "Los pícaros tartaneros." Camarón and lots of others have recorded it. quote:
I came across palos I've never ever heard of , like tonás, debla, carceleras, trilla, romeras, mirabrás etc .... The experts are saying that the group of cantes is called tonás or martinetes and the debla is one of them but trilla and carcelera are different, maybe closer to folklore than flamenco (recordings by Tenazas, Bernardo el de los Lobitos and Fernando de La Morena). quote:
And I'm not counting ones like romeras, mirabrás, cabales, etc., which most guitarists would know how to accompany in but I think are too similar to others in their family to be counted as completely separate palos. Yeah, the names of the styles are all about cante, and the guitar is dealing with the group of cantes of each style. So romeras would be another alegría or cantiña, cabales would be siguiriya in a major key, etc. quote:
Wel, in Spain it looks like they only play Bulerias, Tangos and if you are lucky Fandangos..... Flamenco isn't popular in most of northern Spain but it's still going strong in the rest of the country.
