Description

Second style of Solea del Mellizo amazingly performed by Manuel Torre in 1922 with the guitar of "El Hijo de Salvador".
Francisco Antonio Enrique Jiménez Fernández was born in Cádiz in 1848 and died in 1906.
There are similarities between this style and Joaquín el de la Paula 3, as both make use of the seventh scale degree in the first half of the verse, but the first sung line of the soleá of Joaquín reaches only the sixth scale degree before going on to the seventh in the following sung lines, and this soleá of Enrique el Mellizo goes straight to the seventh scale degree from the first sung line. As in the soleá of Joaquín, the first line is sometimes repeated twice instead of three times. In the versions of Torre, Tomás and Mairena, the sixth line of verse is a "zero" line (not originally included in the verse).
