van diciendo por las calles
que duerma el que tenga sueño
que yo no despierto a nadie.

This is the letra we are dancing to this month in Beginning Baile
En Málaga, los serenos
van diciendo por las calles
que duerma el que tenga sueño
que yo no despierto a nadie.
Here is a siguiriyas letra and a couple of videos for you:
Siguiriyas
Dolores mía
en un laito de mi corazón
te tengo metido
Traditional festivals (ferias) take place in towns big and small across southern Spain during the springtime. Locals dress up, dance, sing, eat, and have A LOT of fun. There are the bigger ferias (those of Sevilla, Jerez...) and there are the smaller ferias (those of Sanlúcar, El Puerto...). These exclusive springtime ferias are unique to Andalucía, and each one has its very own encanto (charm). One of the great things about the feria is that there you get to see both professionals and everyday people dancing flamenco; some may not dance very well technically, but they dance from the heart.
Below you'll see a video of Samara and Rocío Carrrasco at this year's Feria del Caballo in Jerez along with pictures from a variety of ferias in Andalucía.
