Alboreá is a singing style whose name comes from alboradas singing which refers to albor ('dawn'). This singing has a Castilian origin.
Alboreá is rarely part of flamenco recitals because there is superstition of bad luck should it be sung for anything that is not a gypsy wedding. It is usually sung in gypsy marriage rites and their lyrics are linked to this topic. For gypsy singers, this style should be kept for weddings and not be sung outside of these ceremonies.
