(From Los Verdiales, an olive-growing area in the province of Málaga, where a kind of olive known as verdial is grown). It is a fandango that could be fitted within the category of the malagueñas. They used to be performed with musical accompaniment including lutes, bandurrias (lute-like Spanish instruments), tambourines, castanets ... The groups of musicians playing them were known as pandas. With Moorish origins, it is a cante that can be danced to, the aflamencamiento (lit. flamencoisation; that is, changes that are undergone as a result of the influence of flamenco) that it is experiencing is not yet complete, and it clearly maintains its own folk roots.
Dance
Andalusian popular dance that has no desplantes (series of hard stepping movements that end, or climax, a series of steps, or section, of the dance) or convulsive movements . It involves jumping and requires at least one pair of dancers.
José Luque, a student of this style, believes that “verdiales are the oldest and most genuine expression of the traditional popular music of Málaga. It is a fandango that can be danced to, probably having Moorish origins ", and gaining popularity in Málaga.
It can be danced with castanets and using finger-clicking as accompaniment.
It represents a basic example of a ternary meter, that is, it is in three times:
