english translation of "seguiriyas gitanas"

Question

Need help in english translation of "seguiriyas gitanas"

This is the description on a watercolor drawing of Spanish Dancers.

Answer 1

seguiriya can be used in English

It can? I didn't kow that.

It gets 11k hits on English sites, so I guess people familiar with flamenco know what it means.

Answer 2

seguiriya can be used in English

It can? I didn't kow that.

then, we can say:

Gypsy Seguiriyas

as you suggested.

Answer 3

Don't you need to translate the gypsy part?

I wasn't familiar with the word seguiriya, but I found the following:

"A flamenco form with a mixed compás - combining 3/4 and 6/8 time (a feature that drives music experts to despair). The seguiriya (also written sigueriya, siguiriya or seguirilla) takes its name from the Castilian 'seguidilla', a musical style to which it is related, literarily at least."

Since seguiriya can be used in English, could we say Gypsy Seguiriyas? "Flamenco dancers" would certainly be more understandable to most English speakers, but it might not be precise enough, depending on the purpose of the translation.

Answer 4

This is a form of saying "seguidillas"

Segudillas are a vers form and a dance in Spain, typical Flamenco

I would translate as:

flamenco dancers
