CANTE JONDO

Cante jondo is a vocal style in flamenco. An unspoiled form of Andalusian folk music, the name means deep song (Spanish hondo = "deep").

Deep song. A style of singing. To the untrained ear, the sounds of Cante Jondo seem harsh and primitive and are not everybody's cup of tea to be sure. The powerful emotion expressed by a singer at close range is frightening. I, for one, have never gotten used to it, despite it's important role in flamenco, and prefer the more lyrical and melodic song forms. Jondo style songs are passionate and profound and can be found in both 'Grande' and 'Intermedio' classifications.
