Triana, Puente Y Aparte (Tangos De Triana)

Miguel Poveda's 'Triana, Puente Y Aparte (Tangos De Triana)' is a song that celebrates the vibrant culture and traditions of Triana, a neighborhood in Seville, Spain, known for its deep flamenco roots. The lyrics, delivered with the passionate vocal style characteristic of flamenco music, evoke images of the neighborhood's daily life, its people, and their customs. Poveda's song is a tapestry of local color, woven with references to Triana's streets, its festivities, and the spirited interactions among its inhabitants.

The song's narrative is not linear but rather a collection of vignettes that paint a picture of the community's character. Phrases like 'Una chocita en el campo' (A little house in the field) and 'La Guitarrina' (The little guitar) suggest a simple, rustic lifestyle, while references to the feria (fair) and traditional clothing like 'un mantón de lina' (a linen shawl) highlight the importance of local celebrations and fashion. The lyrics also touch on themes of love, jealousy, and social interactions, as seen in lines like 'Tu mari'o en la era, yo con el fraile' (Your husband in the threshing floor, I'm with the friar), hinting at a playful, perhaps illicit, relationship.
