------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the day of the Santos Inocentes, 28th December, Malaga capital celebrates the Main Verdiales Festival. In the San Cayetano inn at Puerto de la Torre lots of pandas (groups of musicians and singers) gather from surrounding villages and thousands of Malagans go there during the day to enjoy the festive atmosphere. "Verdiales" are played, following the tradition of the bands of verdiales who toured to raise money for people injustly imprisoned.



According to some writers the verdial was the "ancient" predecessor of flamenco. The origins of the verdial song and dance are unknown although it is thought it may have been a Phoenician dance later adapted to the rhythms of Christian rituals.

"verdiales"


Explanation:
This is a singing style typical of Málaga. Don´t really think you can translate it. So I´d put it in inverted commas and include an explanation
