It is a transparent spirit with an alcohol content over 50% (100°US ; 87.6ºBritain and Commonwealth proof). Its name comes from the expression "''aguardiente de orujo''" (pomace spirit). It is popular in northern Spain, particularly in Galicia, but also in Asturias, Castile and León and Cantabria (principally in the valley of Liébana). It is also called ''augardente'' or ''aguardiente'' ("firewater"), and ''caña.''

Polo (flamenco Palo)
''Polo'' () is the name of a flamenco palo or musical form. There is only one known song in this ''palo'', which is extremely similar to another palo called caña, and its guitar accompaniment, like the ''caña'', shares its rhythm and motifs with soleá. Both the ''caña'' and ''polo'' share the same musical mode. The ''polo'' has usually been considered as a derivation of the ''caña''. To complete the singing of the polo, singers usually sing a stanza in the ''palo'' of soleá, generally in the style called ''soleá apolá''. Although nowadays, only one song is known for the ''polo'', known as ''polo natural'', past writers also mention another ''polo'', called ''polo de Tobalo'', which has probably been lost. Poetic and musical structure The stanza of the ''polo'' is the ''cuarteta romanceada'', typical of most flamenco songs and Spanish folklore: four octosyllabic verses, the second and fourth rhyming in assonance. It is usually sung with the following typical lines: ''Carmo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
