A less widespread form is the 6-11-6 structure, in which the first verse rhymes with the third, and the second is usually repeated when singing. For this reason, it is not uncommon to find siguiriyas with other metrics, such as 7-7-11-7 and 8-5-11-6. This is due to the emotional intensity of siguiriyas where feeling can prevail over form. This structure is not always strictly adhered to and in practice siguiriyas can be sung in many different syllable counts. Īn example of this is a verse which has been attributed to Tomas El Nitri: Traditionally, the verses of siguiriyas are constructed of two short 6 syllable lines, followed by a longer 11 syllable line, then ending with another 6 syllable line, the rhythm being provided by the syllables of the words. The more modern forms are accompanied by the guitar, where the nuances of the cante make it one of the most difficult styles to accompany and interpret. The oldest forms of siguiriyas were performed without musical accompaniment, akin to tonás. Enrique Morente, well known flamenco singer.
