Panaderas | Viernes con una Letra
Today a folkloric song. Ricardo gave me this one.

Para empezar a cantar
tengo que pedir licencia
que si no me llamarán
cantaora sin vergüenza
To start singing
I must ask permission
or they will call me
cantaora* who has no shame
This is the first letra Gema Caballero sings in the clip below:
You can hear her sing it (and talk about the form) here in an interview on the program, Duendeando.
You can read more about how she came to this style and its origins here in DeFlamenco.
You can see the style in its folkloric form here.
