Taranta
Song with a 'copla' of four or five, eight syllable, verses, one of these is repeated on singing. It belongs to the group of 'levante' and within these, the so called songs of 'las Minas'. Its origin is attributed to Antonio Graus Mora 'El Rojo el Alpargatero', who probably based it on some 'almeriense fandango'. It is interpreted in a free style, in so far as the measure of its 'tercios' and accompanies the guitar in F sharp. After its birth in Almería this song extended to places such as Linares and other mining areas such as Jaén and the province of Murcia, (especially the Unión). It is where all the other 'cantes mineros' come from.
