Malagueña
Song with a 'copla' of four or five, eight syllable, verses with a crossed assonant or allocated rhyme, which generally passes to six, dueto the repetition of the first or third.
Basis for the songs of 'levante' and those that come from the old 'fandangos malagueños'. It was converted into a flamenco style in the first half of the XIX century.
It's a song for dancing and is very rich from a melodic point of view. There are numerous variations of the 'malagueñas' in function of its creators, who come from both the province of Malaga as well as others such as Cádiz.
In this style Enrique El Mellizo, Antonio Chacón, La Trini, El Pena, La Peñaranda, Baldomero Pacheco, El Personita or Gayarrito among many others, stand out.
It is accompanied by the guitar 'por arriba' and is a 'ad libitum' song. On many occasions it is finished with a 'fandango abandolao'.
