JABERAS

(SONG FORM) An offshoot of Fandango Grande, it is closely related to the Malaguenas. The Jaberas is supposed to be Toque Libre, without compas and un-danceable. As if to confuse the issue, Carmen Amaya claimed that her grandfather introduced the Jabera as a dance form. She called it a kind of Solea. So be it! Why not throw one more contradiction into the bucket of flamenco mysteries.
