ZORONGO

n. popular dance and song from Andalucia

This is an old folk song resurrected by Garcia Lorca. In recent years it has quietly made it's way into the flamenco repertoire. It has a 12 beat compas and sounds almost like a sensual, more lyrical version of Peteneras. Near the end it takes on the compas of Bulerias. This sequence of slow and fast may also be alternated. Paco Pena plays a Zorongo on his album Fabulous Flamenco.
