During a wedding in Jaén, a chronicler reported:
“there was such a great multitude and noise of drums, trompetas bastardas and trumpetas italianas, shawms,
tamborinos (pipe and tabors), drums and fools, and mace crossbowmen, and other officers of various kinds,
that no one could hear each other, no matter how close and loudly they spoke.”

playing for dancing |
In the regions of Andévalo and the Sierra of Huelva, southwest of Andalusia, sword dances and other similar types
(lances, sticks, castanets, arches and decorative sticks) are current integrated in the celebration of a rite, a festive
and religious ceremony with solemn character, confined to local practices. The music of these dances is played
on the pipe and tabor. |
1887 sword dancers Huelva
“Both going and coming five men, expert dancers in whose families the accomplishment is passed down
from father to son, performed the Sword dance at intervals in front of the Virgin, accompanied by weird
and ancient music on the pipe and drum. This was played by a man who goes from place to place through
the country to attend similar feasts. The men dance in a line connected by swords, one man holding the hilt
and the next the point of the blade. They advance in line with a peculiar jerky step, then stop, then retreat
a little, and finally dart under one another's sword, back and forth with perfect regularity and without ever
letting go the swords”
