The ‘verdiales’, an ancestral ceremony of music and dance in celebration of the harvest of the grapevine, stand out from all the other Southern songs because of their tradition and roots.
The ‘verdiales’ place their roots in the Mediterranean because their origins are related to the harvest of the grapevine.
This connection could date back to 2,500 years B.C. For centuries, the ‘verdiales’ matured under the protection of the agaric mysteries of two civilisations: Iberian and Tartessus, in the zone extending between the mouth of the Vélez river and to the western limit of the province of Malaga.

Verdial is an olive that always remains green, even when pickled, and the peasant communities that harvest them are known as verdiales.
The celebration of the olive harvest in rural Andalusia dates back to the pre-Roman era and many ceramic sculptures from this period depict street musicians performing with instruments very similar to the cymbals and tambourines that give today's celebration of Los Santos Inocentes its colourful and festive character.
Throughout history, the pagan harvest festival, known as verdiales became intertwined with the Catholic commemoration of Los Santos Inocentes.

Within these styles is a group also known as cante minero, miner’s songs, or cante of the mines because of its connection with mining populations or areas, where these primitive styles where first sung, before professional artists took them up.
