Rondeñas, they belong to the Andalusian songs branch, styles from Malaga, they belong to the free styles. A "palo" originated in Ronda, a city of Malaga. As all the other flamenco "palos" comiing from Malaga, the "rondeña" is prior to the flamenco itself.
It is a copla made of four octosyllable lines, generally with a consonant rhyme. They normally turn into five by repetition of the second one, but also without repetition. It is a composition without "compas", of which lyrics are identified with the rural life. During the last years they evolved, they are less overelaborated with "melismas" and they are slower at the beginning.
