Cante Grande - Kante Grande

...Gypsy musicians who settled in Andalusia in the 17th and 18th centuries first performed in small groups consisting of one singer, one dancer, and one guitarist in restaurants and taverns in the downtown area, but gradually developed into large-scale performances on the stage of theaters. The main repertoire is cante jondo (cante grande), which expresses deep feelings of grief such as the pain of unrequited love and despair in life, and cante chico (cante flamenco), which has a light rhythm and celebrates the joys of life. These two types reflect the passionate expression of sorrow and joy common to gypsies. ...

From [Flamenco]

...Almost all dance and guitar solo forms originate from the cante form. Cante is generally divided into cante grande (big song) and cante chico (little song). The former has a long history and generally has a solemn feel and serious content, and is generally sung exclusively; the latter is relatively new, and often sings about the joys and sorrows of everyday life to a light and witty rhythm, and is accompanied by dancing.

【フラメンコ】より

…踊り,ギター・ソロの諸形式も,ほとんどカンテの形式から発している。カンテは普通,カンテ・グランデcante grande(大きな歌)とカンテ・チーコcante chico(小さな歌)に大別される。前者は歴史が古く一般に荘重な感じで深刻な内容のものが多く,原則としてもっぱら歌われるもの,後者は比較的新しく軽妙なリズムに乗せて日常の哀歓をうたうことが多く,踊りを伴うものである。…
