Juan Fernández Vargas was born in Dos Hermanas in 1891 and died in 1971. He was the son of Agustín Talega, the nephew of Joaquín el de la Paula, and the cousin of Manolito de María. This cante seems to be based on la Serneta 1. In the versions of Talega and others, the melody goes no higher than the fifth degree, although el Sevillano and other singers push up to the sixth degree, which is a characteristic detail of la Serneta 1. The melody of the first line is in Joselero and Noriega. The descending leg of the melodic arc (second line of verse) is heard in the first sung line of the style Agustín Talega 1.
