quote:
siguiryas (sp?) Siguiriyas, seguiriyas, seguirillas... All deformations of "seguidilla." I prefer siguiriya, with "guiri" right in the middle.[;)] It depends on who's singing/playing as everyone is better at some styles than others. I enjoy anything with flamenco's asymmetrical rhythm: bulería, soleá, siguiriya, alegría, etc. For a change of pace, most of the free-form styles are nice (malagueñas, cantes mineros), as well as fandangos de Huelva and cantes abandolaos. I don't care for most of the ida y vuelta styles, like columbianas, milongas, vidalita. But it all depends. I once saw a singer bring down the house with a garrotín. It was at the end of a long night at a peña with knowledgeable aficionados, and others before him had already sung siguiriyas and other dramatic styles. Nobody was expecting it, he sang very well, and it was a refreshing way to put an end to the evening.
