Answer 4

I'm amazed that you got an answer (at al) and , even more, amazed that the response appears to correspond to your question. I consider my self to be an "aficianado del cante flamenco" but my initial reaction was to think, well "fandango" simply describes a rhythm and "de Huelva" simply suggests the origin of the song/singer. Consulting my collection of Flamenco (edited/authored by Antonio Mairena (in the '50s /'60s) I found only one "Fandango de Huelva" (por José Salazar) with (unsurprisingly) has completely different lyrics.

A brief search of YouTube provided a number of (unrelated) "Fandangos de Huelva", which, although unrelated, I enjoyed listening to.

I guess that like the phenomenon of the internet (in general), this simply reflects the fact that in a community of (several thousand, in the case of SpanishDict) or several million (in the case of the web in general) one should expect to find people with all sorts of esoteric (but shared) interests.

Answer 5

Alosno is a small town in the province of Huelva, Spain. It is mentioned or referred to in several Fandangos. I have assumed that the Fandango is very popular there, but I have not looked into it's significance beyond this. Perhaps someone else knows more???
