Richard Jernigan -> RE: La seguiriya del Fillo (Dec. 7 2021 21:51:50)

Norman Kliman's analysis of various styles of siguiriyas is quite extensive: http://canteytoque.es/sigclas.htm Two "El Fillos" are mentioned, father and son. The father was born 1806, the son in 1829. Both pre-date Silverio. Furthermore, though Silverio spent time with gitanos and began a career as cantaor before he left for Uruguay in 1856, his fame arose only after his return to Spain in 1864. Silverio is generally believed to have been strongly influenced by El Fillo, though by which of the two seems not to be clearly understood. Though Silverio learned much of his cante from El Fillo, he was said to modify the palos considerably to his own taste. Antonio Mairena is credited with "re-constructing" El Fillo's siguiriya, although the source is obscure, as is the case with many of Antonio's "re-constructions." "Estamos convencidos de que el inmenso y genial cantaor Pepe Torre grabó no la cabal de El Planeta, sino su cabal de El Planeta, y que Tomás Pabón, el monstruo del cante gitano, grabó no el Reniego de Cagancho, sino su Reniego de Cagancho."* RNJ *Luis Soler Guevara and Ramón Soler Díaz in Antonio Mairena en el Mundo de la Siguiriya y la Soleá
