There is a strong tradition of flamenco music in San Fernando
which may easily be traced back to the years leading up to the
Napoleonic-led invasion of Spain by France. At that time, San
Fernando was known as the Isla de Leon and it is known that the
first isleño flamenco singer juan de Dios was born in the
town in 1809 later in 1831 he would perform with other well known
flamenco artists, including el Planeta and El Fillo. Although
no records exist to support the presumption there seems little
doubt that the deeply rooted flamenco tradition in San Fernando
goes back much further.
The history of the style of flamenco singing in San Fernando
is similarly well documented from roughly the same time. The gypsy
singer Maria Fernandez known as Maria Borrico was the first in
a family dynasty of outstanding flamenco performers including
el Borrico el Viejo de la isla and la Bizca, whose reputation
for singing seguriyas was renowned. Their highly distinctive renditions
spawned many and varying interpretations from numerous other local
flamenco singers in subsequent generations. The Fernandez family
were famed for the purity of their style of singing which retained
the fullest force of its expression even in the shortest songs.
This type of seguiriya was referred to as cante corto de la isla.
