Fandango - Fandango (English spelling)

Japanese: ファンダンゴ - ふぁんだんご(英語表記)fandango
Fandango - Fandango (English spelling)

A typical Spanish folk dance and song. It can be found in many places, but the southern Andalusia region is especially famous. It is said to have originated from the jota, and was popular among high society in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is accompanied by guitar, tambourine, and castanets, and is characterized by a bright, light rhythm in 3/4 or 6/8 time. It has also been adopted into flamenco, where two dancers usually play castanets and are accompanied by a guitar. There are two main types: the fandango grande, which has an intense expression reminiscent of cante jondo, and the fandango chico, which is a rhythmic popular dance music. It is also used in art music, such as Albéniz's "Iberia," Granados's "Goyescas," Falla's "The Three-Cornered Hat," and Rodrigo's "Concerto for Two Guitars."

スペインの代表的民俗舞踊および民謡。各地にみられるが、とくに南部のアンダルシア地方のものが有名。その起源はホタにあるといわれ、17、8世紀には上流社会でも流行した。ギター、タンバリン、カスタネットで伴奏され、3/4または6/8拍子の明るく軽快なリズムを特徴とする。フラメンコにも取り入れられ、通常2人の踊り手がカスタネットを奏し、ギターで伴奏される。大別して、カンテ・ホンドを思わせる激しい表現のファンダンゴ・グランデと、リズミカルな大衆舞踊音楽のファンダンゴ・チコの2種がある。芸術音楽でも、アルベニス『イベリア』、グラナドス『ゴイェスカス』、ファリャ『三角帽子』、ロドーリゴ『二つのギターのための協奏曲』などで用いられている。
