Watch the infamous Lola Flores perform ¡Ay pena, penita, pena, pena! at two different times in her life.
But first, here’s an excerpt from the song:
For this second installment of the flamenco cuplé series, I want to show you the transformation of a song from its original form into a cuplé por bulerías. So here is a song famously interpreted by Rocío Jurado. First watch her sing it directly to Lola Flores (watch it all the way through to see what happens between the two of them at the end) then see how Fernanda de Utrera adapts it as a cuplé por bulerías.
Se Nos Rompió El Amor

Se nos rompió el amor
de tanto usarlo.
De tanto loco abrazo
sin medida.
