Tanguillo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tanguillo is a form, a palo , of flamenco. It developed from the middle of the 19th century in Cadiz as a variant of Tango flamenco .

history

In 1846 the authorities of the city of Cadiz issued rules to differentiate the local tango gaditano from the tango americano . However, the tanguillo in its various forms known today did not emerge until the end of the 19th century, when the tango in Andalusia developed from its Afro-American roots to tango flamenco. Groups like the Las Viejas Ricas Carnival Association coined the Tanguillo gaditano at the end of the 19th century .

character

The Tanguillo is played, sung and danced in Cádiz, especially during Carnival. Accordingly, he has a lively, happy character. A characteristic of many Tanguillos is their polyrhythm : the classic two-part rhythm of tango mixes and overlays with the three-part rhythms of flamenco. Thanks to its rhythmic variety of Tanguillo provides great freedom in the choice of versification and the text design. The most commonly used is the Cuarteta romanceada , a stanza made up of four eight-syllable verses.

Contemporary protagonists

In 1987 Casilda by Paco de Lucía and Camarón by Pata Negra appeared . As a result, many young artists became aware of the Tanguillo, were fascinated by its polyrhythm, interpreted it and developed it further.
