It consists of a lot of examples of the different “touches” of the ''fandango'' of Huelva. Its plot is based on the Discovery of America:

- When? 3rd August 1492 - Who? Christopher Columbus- Where? He left the port of Palos

de la Frontera in Huelva- Problems: he had many refusals to carry out his project. - Success: the expedition of three ships arrived at a small island in

the Antillas on 12th October.

FLAMENCO OPERA

The ''fandango'' is a musical form typical of the Spanish folklore. Its rhythm is of 3X4 (the time 1 is strong, and the time 2 and 3 are weak). There're many types of ''fandango''.

Types of “fandango” depending on the place where they’re sung and the different “touches”:- Fandango from Huelva- Fandango from Calañas- Fandango from Alosno- Fandango from Valverde- Fandango with Rengel’s touch- Fandango with Pepe la Nora’s touch- Fandango with Paco Isidro’s touch

We can't ignore in this work a style of ''sevillanas'‘ which were created to be heard better than to be danced, because their rhythm is slow.

SEVILLANAS

CONCLUSION:I’ve done this project because both the discovery of America and the origins of fandango are directly related to our province Huelva and both are two important facts in world history, especially this year that flamenco has been declared part of Human Heritage.
