It is a religious song, generally improvised and without any accompaniment, performed during the processions of the Holy Week (Easter) and with its origin in the Andalusian folklor. The text is made up various octosyllable verses and always had a religious meaning refering to actions and persons from the Passion. We sing in hounour of holy chracters.
The original "saeta" from Arcos de la Frontera, was accompanied by rudimentary wind instruments, generally manufactured by the own singer. A flat song..
