Eres chiquita y bonita (5a)

Alicia Bendayan (Tetuan)


Songs 5a and 5b are composed of a series of couplets sung at the swing as a poetic-musical dialogue between a young man and a young woman. The couplets of some strophes are "positive" (buenas), speaking of love and the beauty of the beloved (e.g. v.1-34). Others are "negative" (malas) and are intended to insult the partner, making fun of him/her (e.g. v.39-54).
