Granaína (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡɾanaˈina]) is a flamenco style of singing and guitar playing from Granada.
It was originally danceable, but now has lost its rhythm, is much slower, and is usually only sung or played as a guitar solo, reflecting its Arab-Moorish heritage more strongly than other fandangos.
[1] The famous singer Don Antonio Chacón (1869–1929) is attributed with freeing the granaína from its rhythmic ties and making it popular.
Singers usually finish their rendering of the granaína with a media granaína, a similar tune but rising to a higher pitch.
Manuel Vallejo (1891–1960) was a famous exponent of this latter cante.
