The result was the memorable series of flamenco performances held at the Alhambra during June. Many classical musicians, cultural and literary figures, including the young poet Federico García Lorca, participated in the program. In 1922 the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla led in the organization of the Concurso de Cante Jondo for Granada. It is generally considered that the common traditional classification of flamenco music is divided into three groups of which the deepest, most serious forms are known as cante jondo.Ĭultural references to cante jondo
