This type of Tanguillos has been in a way, rescued, and made fashionable from the track "Romance de la Luna" from de record "Calle Real" (1975); recorded by Camarón de la Isla under the musical direction of Paco de Lucía
This rhythm is very similar to that of the "Tanguillos de Cádiz"; but for their tone for medium and distint accent, takes an air different from that of Cádiz
Carmelilla Montoya, member of the Montoya Family from Triana, remembers as of small its parents made him this rhythm, instead of rumbas, because it was easier so that the children danced
It is difficult to identify their origin inside the flamenco, but in this cd, the rhythm that Carmelilla marks spring in such a natural way that one notices that it leaves him of very inside
