Season 2 · Episode 37

Friday, May 31, 2024 • Duration 16:44

One of the intriguing puzzles in flamenco history is the sudden appearance of the soleá in the mid-nineteenth century. A decade and a half ago, Lénica Reyes and José Miguel Hernández Jaramillo conducted research that unearthed enough clues to propose a hypothesis about the formation of the soleá. The results, which were unveiled at a conference in 2010, are yet to be published. In this episode, we delve into these groundbreaking findings that highlight the direct correlation between the soleá and a song that was imported from Mexican lands: The petenera.

The name "the panaderos" was given to popular music and dance in Spain in the 19th century. They probably arrived to Spain from Mexico, where it was already being danced two and a half centuries ago. It was a common "palo" in the flamenco of the 19th century and somehow, as we see in this episode, never disappeared.
