The Journal Investigation on Flamenco "La Madrugá" new number offers us some of the works presented in the 2th International Flamenco Congress on Cantes Mineros (miner songs), celebrated in La Unión (Murcia-Spain) between the 21st and 23rd of July, 2011.
The first article is an interesting analysis of Enrique Morente's discography, where José Manuel Gamboa traces the typical sonority of songs “por tarantas” which the great maestro from Granada included in several flamenco styles as the seguiriya.
Génesis García talks to us about the spirit and subjects of the lyrics proceeding from two different worlds: the trovo (a kind of improvised poetry) and the flamenco.
Lola Fernández thinks about the phenomenon of the bimodalidad, perceived in the family of the fandangoes, and points at its possible origins.
José F. Ortega analyses the early tarantas, recorded in the beginning of the 20th century, which show a stage of transition between the world of the malagueña and the taranta. They will convert an independent style with the great “tarantera” bloom of the twenties.Soon, a specific “toque” will arise to accompany the “cantes mineros” with the guitar, the “toque por tarantas”, subject of two very interesting essays by Norberto Torres and Guillermo Castro respectively.
And finally, Ángela Perez Carrasco presents a summary of his research on the presence of the flamenco in Peñarroya-Pueblonuevo.
Let's hope that all of them satisfy the expectations of our readers, whom we encourage to inform with new works.
