"In fact the rondeña is a taranta, transposed one fifth higher. This tonality is built on C mechanics at the 2nd position, where the fundamental chord position is not quite natural. However the guitarist moves here within a very comfortable environment that provides magnificent sounds with surprisingly economical movements. One can arpegiate full chords, including up to five open strings, and develop on this base a complete melody over a big part of the fingerboard without having to perform any bar. Montoya’s original composition continues, without a doubt, to be the reference for the rondeña style. This piece has turned out to be a symbol for every flamenco guitarist, from any period. We find again Manuel Cano and Serranito among the first explorers of this tuning, a part of the proper toque por rondeña, with their arrangements for Andalucian popular themes. Whether in duet or in solo, they left noteworthy pieces such as Zorongo, Romance del Pastor, and Las Tres Morillas." Source: http://www.affedis.com/articles6.html
