“Taranto” comes from  “Taranta”, profound “cante de las minas” (song of the mines).

Taranta is a free type of singing which does not follow a succession of beats in ordered sequences. In order to make it possible to performe it as  a dance, the melismas of the taranta singing rhythms were absorbed and adjusted to four-time ryhtmic sequences to produce Taranto. This creation at the beginning of the 20th century makes this a "baile hondo” within the varieties of flamenco. It is always accompanied by guitar en singing.

Antonio Canales uses this choreography to explore the passions of a man and a woman. The strength of a passion that drags them together and the conflict of the same passion that forces them apart. 

Once again flamenco is used to interpret the language of life.
