These are flamenco styles that came into being through migration to Latin America then back to Spain.
Included are the Guajira, Colombiana, Rumba, Vidalita, and Milonga.

One Saturday during the last Flamenco Tour to Jerez, after finishing class with Mercedes Ruíz, we showered and headed over to El Porrón for a lunchtime fiesta. José Luís had gotten us some delicious merluza fish from El Puerto de Santa María which Maribel prepared along with lots of aliños (marinated salads), a guiso (stew), and other goodies.
