The book is considered to be a true encyclopaedia of flamenco, and it contains definitions of different types of voices.<\/p>\n The <\/span>voice afill\u00e1<\/strong> took its name from the gypsy cantaor Antonio Ortega El Fillo, who had a deep, husky and strong voice, apparently appropriate for buler\u00eda<\/span>, ton\u00e1 or sole\u00e1. The so-called round or flamenco voice refers to a sweet voice; the singing voice<\/strong> corresponds to rhythmic and flexible voices. At the time, this type of voice was attributed to the majority of flamenco artists, although this classification generated debate, as not all female voices were the same.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Another denomination corresponded to the v<\/strong><\/span> oice falsetto,<\/strong> in general, not very useful for flamenco, although ideal for the softer palos. For example, the cantes de ida y vuelta: rumba, guajira<\/span>… <\/span><\/p>\n Over the years, other flamencologists have added definitions<\/strong> beyond those given by Mairena and Molina. Categories like voice <\/span>la\u00edna<\/span>, which corresponds to fine, light and soft voices; la rancia, which refers to dark, gritty and cavernous voices; or, la voz raj\u00e1, similar to la rota and which usually corresponds to the most torn palos were making a hole.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Testimonials” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_enable_color=”off” background_size=”initial” background_position=”center_left” custom_margin=”2%||||false|false” custom_padding=”2%||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”575.3px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Domine||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”32em” header_2_font=”Domine|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In recent years there have been initiatives to classify voices based on pre-established singing categories for other genres.
