Verdiales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verdiales are a Flamenco music style, and song form belonging to Canté Chico.
Originating near the Spanish port of Málaga in Andalucia, it is based upon the fandango. For this reason, the Verdiales are sometimes known as Fandangos de Málaga..
Normally played in the key of E major (rarely, A minor), the Verdiales have a 12-count rhythm similar to the Soleares, and Bulerias.
