The first programme (Estilos mediterráneos, 1980) covers a very wide geographical area, which runs from Málaga to Almería, passing through Jaén, as well as Cartagena-La Unión. A young Luis de Córdoba, who had just taken the Festival de la Unión by storm, is featured singing, as well as Carmen Linares in her prime. The first sings a minera de La Unión, accompanied by Juan Habichuela, and Carmen, with Luis Habichuela's accompaniment, sings granaína y media de Chacón, followed by malagueñas de la Trini and del Canario finished off in a verdial style. They then interpret the taranto and taranta. In the second programme, Carmen Linares appears, in black and white, in a recording from 'Rito y geografía del cante' (1971-72). She sings in a soleá style during a gathering at which the Moraos are present.
The subsequent pictures (Fiesta en los patios, 1975) show Dolores de Córdoba singing in a bulerías meter, under which she includes forms ranging from fandangos to rondeñas, and even 'La chiquita Piconera' by Pepe Pinto.
'A voice, a guitar' is a monographic issue dedicated to Curro Lucena, which includes a repertoire of fandangos de Lucena, as well as malagueñas del Niño de Cabra and tangos de Ronda, both of which he invented.
The final programme (Cantes de Levante, 1964) is devoted to the cante de las minas (mine singing). From a long list of artists, it is worth highlighting the presence of a young, thin, Chiquito de la Calzada, before he became involved in television comedy. Here Chiquito, who came to be a good Malagan cantaor, performs Malagan folk and danceable cantes (styles), and fandangos de Comares.
