Rondeñas

Its not known if it's name comes from the city of Ronda or from a 'ir a rondar'. 'Copla' of four, eight syllable, verses, that convert into five due to the repetition of the second. It is a very old 'fandango abandolao' with a very marked melody, that is used on many occasions to finish the 'malagueña'. A distinction can be made between 'ronda grande' and 'chica', since the two styles don't have anything to do with one another, although they follow the same metric structure.
