extend our entry July 18, 2010 .
H o we will give an account of a curiosity of the ones we like, we will try to approach the true chronology of one of the most famous passages from literature Flemish the fragment on "... the Dolores and his troupe of Espeletilla, Henriot, the Granada, the Fly and other trifles ... " of General Assembly of the Knights and Ladies of Triana and took the habit in the order of a certain blonde dancer (Andalusian Scenes , 1847).
As is known, the famous General Assembly Estébanez Calderon Serafin Solitaire was first published two years before being included in his famous Scenes: Madrid appeared in the magazine The Century Picturesque in November 1845.
We dare to say that there has noticed a remarkable difference between the two texts. In that of 1845 ( Picturesque Century) is not an episode of the Dolores Cadiz presented with his troupe at the celebration, fragment it will appear in the Scenes 1847. Remember:
"(...) it seems this conclave also arriving, come and get to Cadiz and across the sea, not the guide star, and the three Wise Men, but the star of Gypsy Kings and the Magi and the movement and circumstances to bring their feud tribute worship and contentment to the case is here? "
(...)" Well, are not to enter! and I ask and beg to be appointed and accompanying delegation welcomed and receive: that she is unable to Dolores be another and Espeletilla comparsa, Enriquillo , the Granadino , Fly and other trifles. "
(...) and entering that was left went to see the girl captain and champion announced by Don Poyato: and indeed that she was a guy finish his race and country. Beautiful and gentle in person, was his sovereign tan color and black eyes and torn with a lot of intent and fire, the hair does not have to lie, as the raven black as well as Gypsy, followed and flabby, grows white mouth with teeth of pure white pine; the waist loose and wonderfully agile and feet of the best trace and the start of the legs, as seen after his outbursts stopped and Voles, pregonábanse high morbidity and perfect profile. In the moving and spins and footwork Ronda was more trouble than can be seen, but in playing that reached the ecstasy and recent hits yerba buena, the seguidillas and Tana, was seen and admired thing to not to fantastic story here. This is that Planet The Fillo and all the assembly cried out in unison and together, "there was a lot of innovation and excellence not just little dancer, all so that made her and on top of any price increases, except however if it was in Rubillar contrast to Carmela, so much acclaimed and accepted by queen of grace and kindness and that is, they said, well known and settled. "
We go to the chapter of the songs, which in this we will be able to award the first point and merit. Among the things he sang two of them were especially praised. Once upon a the Malagueña by Jaber style, and other coplillas some fans who called Perteneras . Those who had heard the Jaber gave it all to win and in this the saying and claimed that he sang the gypsy was not that famous Malagueña of singers, but something new with different intonation, with different fall and most difficult, and that name who sang with such grace, would call it Dolora . The song was first in a fit to Malaga very fluent and stylish, then retreating and coming to dispose of Polo Tobalo endings, with great depth and strength of breast, concluded with another climb to the first intoned, was something that snatched whenever he heard the contest. Concerning the Perteneras are like air going seguidillas more alive, but the singer's penetrating voice dábanles inexplicable melancholy. (...)
back in time. In our post titled Sing in Romany. 1846 (6-VI-2009), we did echo the arrival at the Town and Court, in June 1846, a beautiful gypsy girl who attracted attention with his songs in Romany, accompanying himself on guitar. The will meet again taking part in several musical gatherings during the summer of that year.
The English daily El June 19, eg, provided an extensive review of one of his performances, accompanied by ... the Granadino , Espeleta , Enriquillo and other fans.
The English , June 19, 1846 (chronic and detail of it)
In the documentary evidence and the many similarities between the chronic and the English text of the Scenes (1847), the questions that arise are the following:
- "Lonesome published another text in November 1845 and June 1846 that could inspire the chronicler of the English ?
In Fifty Years of Flamenco (EFV, 2008), José Blas Vega reminds us that, after Picturesque Century, edited the text again in 1846 in an illustrated booklet entitled General Assembly of the Knights and Ladies of Triana . (Dedicated to Mad. Guy Stephan and Castelló Solitaire. Madrid. Establishment of engraving and printing of DV Castelló, Hortaleza Street, number 89. 1846). Know the contents. However, we think that the brochure should appear on the news later The English : announced in the picturesque Weekly August 23.
- you inspired Solitaire in a news item published by the Madrid daily to compose the final text of their Scenes ?
continue investigating. It is no doubt that our gypsy music label marked with the summer 164 years ago in Madrid, in addition to become the subject of gossip of the heart.
