NormanKliman -> Siguiriyas of El Viejo de La Isla (Sep. 27 2012 20:03:22)
|
I've finished a revision of my siguiriyas webpage that's kept me busy for the last month or two. It focuses on a group of at least nine cantes from Cádiz and Jerez that have a common structure and are almost always sung in one form or another, usually as a "middle" cante. In that sense, it might not be an exaggeration to say that this group accounts for one-third of all siguiriyas. By my count, the average is about 10-15 examples of recordings from most singers. Pastora and Mairena have 17 and 23, respectively, and Manuel Agujetas has about 70!
Here's the link. You might have to reload the page (look for today's date):

The link shows a new section that describes the group, and I've revised the texts on each style and have added some samples and removed others.
