Sometimes you want to know a song to go along with the dance form you're studying in class. Other times you want to know the words to that particular flamenco song you like so much. And sometimes you long to know what those words mean.

Cantiñas. We danced por cantiñas with Emilio. We've seen the first letra.
And a second one too.

El tacón de la bota,

Cantiñas from Miguel Poveda's Casa Pavón, which we danced to last weekend with Emilio. Here is the second letra...

Y llegando al mes de abril
Salían de su cautiverio.

We're dancing to Miguel Poveda's Casa Pavón. Here is the first letra...

Plazoletilla del Rey
donde están los colegiales
al punto de la oración
unos entran y otros salen.
