"La Gabriela" taranto befo...
Hey all - I've got two versions of La Tarara with Camarón, the original on La Leyenda del Tiempo, and a new mix on Autorretrato. From what I can tell, the taranto this new mix starts off with is called the once-popular taranto de la Gabriela (or some places called "La Gabriela") - I'm not sure if that's the name of a cantaor (who I've never heard of) or the song title or what. I'm especially curious what the letras are and where they come from (Lorca or no?).
So does anyone know, what is the "taranto de la Gabriela", where are the lyrics from, and does anyone know where I can find them? Thanks!
and look for La Niña de los Peines. Other versions were recorded by Manuel Escacena and La Rubia de las Perlas, among others.
Ay, a la Grabiela Ay, corre que ve y dile a mi Grabiela ay que que voy a Las Herrerías que duerma y no tenga pena ay, que vuelvo mañana de día que voy a fabricar canela
