Sevillanas
Song structured on a "copla" similar to the classic "seguidilla castellana", meaning that it is formed by four or seven verses which in both cases are seven syllables. The first and third are free style and of five syllables, and assonant the other two. It is the archetype of the folk song and was always meant to accompany a dance. It is composed of four 'coplas' each of which has a different choreography.
In Sevillanas there are different classifications, "boleras", "coraleras", "biblicas", "marineras", "rocieras", "litúrgicas", "de feria", "de eschuchar"... La Niña de los Peines made interesting recordings of the old styles, whilst the Hermanos Toronjo and the Hermanos Reyes can be considered the driving force of this style.
