Routes of Andalusian Flamencos - ROUTE OF CAYETANO |
 |
| The
route followed by Cayetano Muriel, el Niño de Cabra, cannot
be started out just anywhere you want. The precedents that made
up its history must be calmly and even devoutly examined, since
it is this local folkloric legacy that has the essence of a currently
intact flamenco creation. PUENTE GENIL Here, the rondeiia is transformed into zangano, a fandango variety whose melodic characteristics as well as its particular dancing have given it a unique character.

LUCENA It is the town with the most deeply-rooted flamenco singing tradition in the area, a proof of this being the monument to its local flamenco artists. its fiestas aracelitanas take place during the first week of May and are the centre of Lucena's folklore, which became flamenco art later thanks to popular flamenco singers like El Niño del Museo, Dolores de la Huerta, Rafael Rivas... CABRA It is the cradle of Cordoba's precious abandolao thanks to mythical Cayetano Muriel, whose home is erected with a commemorative tile. The Romería Nacional de Gitanos pilgrimage to Nuestra Señora de la Sierra sanctuary is especially singular, where on 17 June, the gypsies ofler their pure flamenco singing and dancing to Mary. BUJALANCE It is necessary to go to Bujalance, a municipality where the pajarona singing is developed - a flamenco style whereby a cantaor sings and a relatively distant singer replies while working with a yoke.
