La Caña
"La Caña" belongs to the gypsy singing branch and is included in the "soleares/solea" family. It is a matrix singing, with a metric style of 12 times. La Caña can be considerated as a matrix singing trasncendent for the flamenco. Its melodic influence is unquestionable, not only in a lot if minor singings but also in ancient styles, frequently considered as original. Some prestigious opinions date the "soleas" and also the "siguiriya" before the "cañas". The "caña" use and cover all the registers of voice. It is very hard and difficult to sing and needs precision. You also have to express it with purity, having perfect knowledge of the style but also outstanding vocal faculties.

It is very difficult to sing "cañas" and the singer has be a deep "cantaor". He needs to have a perfect style knowledge but also exceptional vocal abilities.
