What I dont understand is why the Flamenco Seguirilla was sometimes called Seguidilla. here you are, another theory: maybe some kind of hiding their's ownes from the guiris? I think it was Felix Grande relating, that till the end of the 19th cent. and further, also the clostest friends of gitano-families had to leave the houses and only listen from outdoor, when was sung a seguiriya. And perfectly possible, that - passing the guardia civil and hearing the cries/gritos/pena negra - they would have asked: what's going on here? gitanos speaking with the devil? - the answer could have been: oh, it's just a seguidilla. and I also can imagine, that in the beginnings of flamenco nobody would have said: "Let's sing por buleria! .. cantanos por tonà! .." More sense makes the naming by "de la tía ..." " ... lo del cojo", " la de Ronda .." o ciertas letras. So, what palo could it be: cold soggy day , the family awaiting the sun, round a fire, someone begins to clapp hands ... and what would it "be"?? - Poll (that's not a romantic fantasy, 20 years before I've seen it and am sure, that this still exits) The naming and classification of "Styles" - was a made one and a mutual process with singing in life, I imagine. does anybody know a mention of seguiriya before Antonio Machado/Demófilo?? (pfff, family is out for watching a round leather going round and I dont have to prepare the meal - ;-))
